SLEEVES FOR FALL GOWNS

The Set-In Sleeve Is One of the Novel Features of the Offerings for Fall. The set-in sleeve is featured on the majority of gowns for fall. To impress their presence upon the minds of prospective buyers they have made themselves conspicuous by being emphasized in various ways. In some instances the armhole is outlined with bands of the material, embroidered in silks or wools. Then, again, wide bands of contrasting materials or of braid are used to bind the armhole. A very unusual sleeve is an interesting part of a blue serge gown. Three-inch silk braid is sewed around the top of the sleeve, the sleeve being stitched flat by this braid band to the outside of the bodice, not in the armhole. Of course, all of the new sleeves of daytime dresses are long. Many of them are slashed from the wrist to the elbow, the place between the slashed material being filled in with lace, net or silk. When the material is slashed only a few inches up from the wrist the sides are finished by a narrow plaited frill or lace or chiffon.
