Black Velvet and Roses.

The use of black velvet ribbon, with tiny pink rosebuds on white party frocks and dancing costumes, is growing. A white chiffon dancing dress has flying bands of black velvet hanging from the waist and held down around the foot by roses. A white taffeta frock had a short tunic, from which hung little knots of black velvet ribbon with ends about four or five inches long. These were attached to the' tunic by means of groups of the rosebuds. 1
