PANIERS AN EARLY FANCY

Cannot Be Said to Have Achieved Much Success Despite Its Parisian Origin and Backing. , Numberless are the “robes de style” just now being shown in all the big dressmaking houses, says the Paris correspondent of Dress, and various are the forms they take. Of course the panier, dress is one of them, copied exactly from old documents. But one never knows whether early models will be a success until La Parisienne has pronounced her opinion of them. Thus it is pretty safe to predict, instead of the panier dress, a return or a partial return to the directoire style. The high directoire collar and fancy vest are already seen at fashionable assemblies, worn with the cutaway habit coat and wide cuffs of the period, the directoire hat is worn with this costume, but the directoire hat is not new to us, for we have had it with ur. all the winter.
