Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 289, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 December 1910 — Short Trains for Dinner Gowns. [ARTICLE]

Short Trains for Dinner Gowns.

While skirts continue to be very short In almost all day dresses, the couturleres have had to lend ear to the cry of the women who absolutely refuse to give up trains in their evening gowns. I have seen several.very smart dinner dresses lately cut with short, sllghtlfr pointed trains, and I have no doubt that there will be others before the winter Is over. One that was worn recently was of ochrecolored satin, but the rather vivid yellow was very much subdued by an overdress of dark alumlnlum-gray net. The satin underskirt had the short train I spoke of, but the tunic, of course, was short. It was gathered In a little at the' top and its waist line was raised somewhat above Its natural position. The bottom of the tunic dropped Into points at the sides and was hemmed with a deep band of the yellow satin, which drew it in a trifle without giving It any-appearance of awkwardness or constraint—The Delineator.
