Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 170, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 August 1917 — The New Silhouette. [ARTICLE]

The New Silhouette.

To conform with the government recommendation that all dresses' shall be made very simple, a well-known designer says: *■ “I, personally, believe that the princess dresses with Eton coats will be the favorite models. The stout woman can wear a princess line to the best advantage and the Slim woman looks smart in Eton. With the skirts scant and a little longer, I think that a suggestion of fullness over the hips for the small figure will give style, and still not use much cloth. With the close-fitted dress and coat, an individual touch can be given by a smart flare on the coat, which is finger-tip length. Tailored lines without trimming would not only carry out the wish of the government, but would b« a decidedly new-style feature.”
