Then there are sleeves of two materials: the more solid dress material reaching to the elbow and then an outbreak of gaury fullness which is again caught to the wrists. This kind of sleeve 1 usually accompanied by a vest of, the gauzy material, be it georgette, organdi or voile.

Blashed Sleeves,
I have even seen sleeves quaintly Blasted on the upper arm revealing spotted fabric beneath the plain silk of the dresa. So reminiscent of Good Queen Bess!
This particular dress, was in navy blue crepe and the blue and white spotted material appeared on the tiny rovers and again on the belt. The effect was very chic.

A lovely draped cape I saw this week on a matron's-evening dress had a fringe of tiny feathers and was cleverly caught on the loft shoulder with a buckle from which a long end hung gracefully down the back. This style would add inches to a matron with a dumpy figure with the skirt length reach- ing to the ground.
While on the subject of stout figures the secret of dressing well should be a strict allegiance to supple materials only. Keeping only to styles with long graceful lines there is no reason why the out-size figure should not look well. But a note of warning against too orate sleeves should be sounded in this case,
Elaborats sleeves are essentially intended for slim and average figures; and the girl with arms that are too thin will welcome them.
