A Modith Jenny Dinner Frock Fashioned of Black Chorineuse Effectively Uses Cream Lace For a Yoke and Upper Sleeves.
HERE is omdating intriguingly inconsistent about the new styles in sleeves,
Paris first advocated the long-sleeved evening gown. The introduction of long kid gloves had much the same effect, but was not nearly so comfortable for women. And women have learned since the war that only comfortalde things are really chic in the long run. Most of the long-sleeved gowns have exceedingly decorative and sheer material in them. Fine, net, lace, chiffon, and à combination of two of these materials is the usual medium for long sleeves. The sleeves may be tight, or very intricately cut.
The drop yoke with sleeves cut in one is perhaps the newest conception. One daring version uses the very theerest sunburnt net for a drep yoke and long sleeves with heavy cuffs of the satin of the frock which teem, from a distance, to be suspended on the wrists with no support from the sleeves,
The chiffon long-sleeved dress is very good now, es pecially if it is one of the indistinct floral prints in the new nasturtium shades that are so very appealing under electric lights. Greens are summery, too, and with the advent of more feminine lines, piuks re-appear in die- tinguished prints that are vastly becoming.
SOMETIMES there novel dimer gowns play, a gamin
with fancy curfs. They attach them to one shoul- det and then make a point of teeing just how many ways Milady can wear them. Sometimes they are wound 'around the acck to give that diguified high-collar effect. Sometimes they trail behind, making wings to lighten her walk, Sometimes they ewing jauntily down to make cape sleeves with the tight, long ones coming out from under them, modestly.
There is no denying the newness and novelty of these long-sleeved gowns. Since most of them favor princess lines they are distinctly quaint as well as modern.
The tight, long sleeve is the prevalent one. What Fashion dees to the cuffs is another thing. They may be wide, slached, lighly decorative or the most demure little mitt-cuffs,
L. WORTH makes use of pattel shades in many of
his daytime outfits. This euit consists of a pale pink silk, fruck und a blue cont. The frock ii a one- piece affair with an unusual skirt that user panels to hang below the godets that give the skirt its fullness.
The waist blouses slightly over a fitted yoke and the front of the waist is finished with a panel of the goods like those on the skit. Crystal buttons fasten the frock. The blue coat is a simple cardigan with fine stitching on sleeves and pockets. The decorative scarf is made of pale pink and blue silk joined in modernistic sections. The hat worn with this outfit is blue felt.
II. BLACK CHARMEUSE and cream lace faili ion this Jenny freak. The lace makes a drop yoke that forms the upper portions of the long sleeves. This yoke dips to a scalloped V in back and is much higher in front, running in scallops straight across the bodice. The neckline bugs the throat. The rest of site frock is black, charmeuse with a three-tiered skirt that seems gracefully alive whenever the wearer takes a stop,
A sparkling buckle of brilliants fastens the belt of self materiala.neat little tailored belt in keeping with the cut and texture of the gown,
III. JENNY achieves a delightful summery effect
beige.
in this dinner dress of lace and tulle in delicate
The lace makes a svelt bodice with snug sleeves. From the waistline this fitted portion flarca over a fluffy tiered skirt of tulle over lace ruffles. The skirt points down decidedly in back. The high collar is of tulle and ties in a jaunty how in the hack of the neck.
This creation is about the most youthful version of the long-sleeved dinner dress that Parisian couturiers have produced.during the current season,
IV. THIS daytime out by Redfern consists of a sleeveless dress and a jacket in beige wool moro- cain. Incrustations of brown lend interest to the upper portion of the frock and the skirt, which is accordion- plented.
The sath that ties in a bow is of two shades of brown. The jacket, intended to contribute warmth as well as chic to the ensemble, is plain in order that the frock's - dashing frim may be more effective.
The length of the skirt points to the slightly-below. the-knee vogue that is coming in for the street, specta for sports wear and for wear at home. For the girl in active sports, the short thirt is still fashionable.
V DISTINGUISHED and original is this Mag Helly crening gown of black and white satin and theer white net. The net forms long, close-fitting sleeves that end in modernistic cuffs.
The manner in which the black and white satin is combined gives a modernistic effect to the gown, the semi-fitted top of which flares to fullness below the hips. The skiet dips on at the sides and back, and the hem is trimmed with white.
Little tight epaulets of white satin extend down ove the net sleeves, and the cuffs of black satin affect hang- ing squares of black and white satin.
This is distinctly a "lady dress," one in which a young woman would be moved to conduct herself with cary dignity,
