WHAT'S ADDED TO SKIRT, COMES OFF SLEEVES
BY MARIAN HALE
Is there method in the French fashion decree that skirts muat ba wore longer?
Everybody knows that most women have shapely legs. Par haps that's why they cling so to the short skirts.
The Parisian doctees, however, are a great boon to the possessor of thick ankles a d unsymmetri- cal underpinnings.
But I doubt if even Grandma, with who is being credited influencing the long tull-skirtos . innovations, would stand for the new day-time sleevelessness.
Seems that what the Paris dressmaker puts on to the length of the skirt he takes off the sleeves. If the legs must be covered the arma'must show! Lok at the picture on the right. The taffeta gown has a modified hoop skirt and the lady wears old-fashioned short black gloves. But what would grandma say to sce those bare arnis exposed to the shoulder. Surely, the long and the short of it are being illustrated in tha skirts and sleeves.
Even though one does not have to live up to grandmother's fash jous the most ungrandmotherly frock on the left shows the way the skitt lengthe bave increased. The costume of oyster white is embroidered in Bolgarian colours, a novelty being the imitation of a bag with strap over the shoulder embro dered on the gown. The sleeves, quite a contrast to the leaveless grandmother costume. fall loose and long over the hand.
