Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 127, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 May 1913 — SQUARE EFFECT CALLED FOR [ARTICLE]

SQUARE EFFECT CALLED FOR

Both for Indoor and Outdoo/ Wear, the Gown Must Present That Appearance. A quaint square effect is the most noticeable feature of the newest of the gowns both for indoor and outdoor wear. Whether the present tendency toward the natural fonn has anything to do with it is, of course, the first thing that occurs to one. A very charming gown which illustrates this feature has a draped skirt in a night-blue color of charmense. This has a straight, square back, which yhowa scarcely any curve at the waist line. A broad, straight panel hangs from the waist, without any folds to the end of the skirt. The drapery of the front of the skirt disappears under this panel at each side about two-thirds of the way from the waist y The corsage is of ivory lace over flesh-coldred chiffon, and has a pointed ceinture in front. This also disappears at the back under the panel. Little motifs of iridescent blue beads take away from the severe style of the square back. The front of the gowns is very graceful, but somehow tbs'back cannot appeal to everybody.
