Echoes of Fashion.

Many of the newest coat models in black taffeta and satin are cut away sharply from the bust into a long pointed tail at the back. Nearly all thin or transparent fabrics are made with a slightly bouffant over-skirt suggestive of the pannier, but for those figures which cannot stand this arrangement around the hips there is the tunic, which though falling almost plain from the waist, Is cut with a rounded edge just above the knees, slightly gathered Into a lace Insertion or trimming, and edged with silk fringe a few inches in depth. This gives,the pannier effect, yet keeps the fullness away from the hips.
