Evening Republican, Volume 20, Number 288, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 December 1916 — Oriental Motifs. [ARTICLE]

Oriental Motifs.

Embroidery is the most favored decorative trim for one-piece frocks, and it is executed in fine braids, in metallic threads, chenille and beads, either round beads or those of tubular form. Oriental and Egyptian motifs are preferred and they ornament the corsage, the ceinture and the pocket flaps. Occasionally the design extends from the bodice down over the front breadth of the skirt, giving the effect of a Louis XV waistcoat.
