Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 309, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 December 1912 — Bead Trimmings. [ARTICLE]

Bead Trimmings.

Many of the smartest evening gowns are trimmed with bead plaques. The beads are so closely set together that there is no space between them. They jaYe wrought upon canvas in the oldfashioned mat and screen designs. These show baskets of flowers and birds unreal-looking In their strange coloring. The peasant fashions are much in vogue, and the suspenders are decorated with beads and embroidery. The most beautiful bead trimmings are those that represent the arabesque designs on black chiffon, crepe de chine, net or taffeta. Among the smartest evening gowns iare those showing heavily beaded tunics over a foundation of chiffon.
