Fashion's Trend For 1937
Richer Fabrics: Sequins,
Lace And Fur
BY THE RON, MRS, C. W. FORSTER
I notice already a desire to bring in certain fashion points from past Coronation modes. Hats recall flowers, feathers, and furs of an Edwardian elegance. There OTA charming coiffures and befrilled frocks that speak of 1830, and, amusing elaborations in wool and silk ornaments, and the gold an sliver work of a similar date.
At several of the mid-season collections there are not only sim- ple. clear modern lines, but also braided borders, fringed and raised. allky
knots, sampler stitches. smocked effects, and many decora- tive belts and sashes.
The revival charm of lace has been indicated for some time. Examples of the older heavy de- signs will mark the mode of 1937. and the present yolue gives the greatest variety in fine, cobwebby traceries in thread and silk, treat- ed by the newer dire process, by which the finest Bounces and in- sertions of Chantilly.can appear transparent and yet stiffened suc- cessfully into any lines déstred.
Sequins are having another "come-back." and they will prob- ably be a still more pronounced fashion favourite in the New Year. One of the most successful recent models from the Paquin Paris collection is an embroidered black net sequined evening creation. Is somewhat Edwardian, as the waist is accentuated by a decoupé ceinture of velvet with glittering sequin applique. The corsage ja shaped and worked in a similar manner. The ethereal qualities of net, the softness of velvet, and the beauty of the hand-worked sequins are cleverly blended into apparent simplicity of line. This is a fore cast of the more formal, yet elegant, trend of the grande tollette."
Lovely, patterned materials ma- terials in rich, silks and Fatins are Interesting. White and pale blue Agured gatin was responsible for a very new tunic cut on full, flared lines and worn over a black ferser skirt. One could not fall to be -impressed by the alliance of black wool-jersey worked in harmony and with this rich and formal gorgeous fabric of the nineties.
All-over-lace in pale shades may be mounted on duli gold and silver. A favourite demi-toilette is Anest black lace and thin wool, A bolero ccatee of black Jersey often uccompanies a thin chiñon or lace frock, with the to-the-ground
length skirt showing a practical deep ham of the jersey. Utility fabrics mix with, the exotic, and enable dresses, to do duty for more 'than special occasions.
I have seen some Empire effects of narrow borders of ermine and sable tail edging yellow or white satin. A superb "tailleur for even- ing wear was in crimson damask, with a folded vest of point lace. The little tailored coat was finish- ed with a tiny collar and turnback chff of white ermine.
The wearing of flowers, I hear, will be even more popular - next year, but important jewelled pieces" will take prominence on cere- 'monial occasions.
Dress Jewellery will be kept en- tirely separate STEE heirloom ornaments, and jewellers will be busy from now onwards resetting famous stones.
