Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 222, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 17 September 1913 — Back to Japan. [ARTICLE]

Back to Japan.

Chinese fashions, especially the mandarin lines, proved unbecoming, in that they departed from the figure’s general beauty of lines. But designers have stayed in the orient, merely moving across the strip of water and centering their thoughts on Japan. The clinging draperies, the wide belt; with its butterfly bows and its draped and hanging panels, and the kimono line for bodices and wraps are to be used this fall. Wonderful colorings and embroideries that hint of the east will be the safe choice for the woman who would buy now for a coming successful season in dress.
