Slim Figure Losing Favour

BACK TRIMMING GAINS POPULARITY

Parls.

The popularity of the flat, slim and bayish silhouette has dimin- ished and the general line this season is that of a handsomely de- veluped woman. When viewed from the front the sides appear straight and free from any move- ment of trimming, but the profile shows a novel and attractive ex- pansion of bust and bustle. This is obtained with the help of a great display of jabots in front and frills at the back, below waist. Even the slit back почу worn with day dresses shows that women need no longer be afraid;

f looking normally muscular.

This is sometimes done by means of a small pleated basque at the back or else by two points like those of a man's waist- coal in Tront.

Sometimes The same effect is created at the back by a bow be- langing to the belt but worn low or by a shirred triangular yoke or what looks like a small hood in the form of a cornet.
