Bright Silver and Tulle.

What in the world did fashion do before someone thought of silver ribbon and tissue for gaslight wear? An enchanting dance frock just completed is made of white tulle and silver ribbons —nothing else, if one excepts a simple foundation slip of silver tissue which gleams delicately through the floating skirt of tulle. There are in fact three skirts of tulle, and on the second one is a wide silver ribbon, set at the knee. The girdle is of similar silver ribbon run across the chiffon underbodices, below the drapery of tulle. At the front of the skirt, about eight Inches below the waistline, is set a tab of silver ribbon fastened to the tulle with rosettes of narrower silver ribbon, and from the. girdle depend four tabs of ribbon likewise trimmed with silvery rosettes. Can you imagine the sparkle and drifting whiteness of this lovely frock on a ballroom floor?
