COLORS NOT FAVORED
GIRLISH EVENING GOWNS FASHIONED IN ALL-WHITE.
Even the Trimming of Fur, So Popular Just Now, Is of That Color— Silver Gauze Adds to Effectiveness.
The all-white dress is so appropriately satisfactory for girlish evening gowne that one can hardly be surprised they are seen more than colors, writes Lillian E. Young in the Washington Star. White chiffon and messaline silk are used together in the dainty model of-the sketch, with only' the bands of dark fur by way of contrast, and if desired this, too, may be kept white by substituting ermine, rabbit pryconey skin, or even white marabou.
Use white net for an under waist. The overblouse of chiffon has a double corded puffing to finish the decolletage, with a tiny beading just inside. Short sleeves are cut In one and given a banding of fur and double ruffling
of self-material. A wide girdle of the silk ties in a butterfly bow in front that is edged with’ Tur." " The tunic is in two flounces —the lower one attached to a plain net foundation that is veiled by the upper one. Both are mounted with tiny folds instead of gathers, and bordered with fur. T In front they arg lifted a little above the round length by means of a box fold caught up under the girdle, where the butterfly bow forms a heading for it. The skirt is draped from the waist at center front and gives the desired pannier fullness under the hips. Silver gauze is much used with white for the evening, and a suggestion that may meet with approval is to use some for the girdle and hair bandeau in this same design.
