GOWNS TO MATCH HANGINGS

Recent Fad Is to Have Apparel Harmonize With Draperies and Appointments of the Boudoir. One of the latest fads of fashion is the elaborate room’gown designed to harmonize with the hangings and appointments of the boudoir itself and for these rose* pink brocade, French blue, and metal brocades are the first requisition. A shimmery gold and blue brocade, light in effect, has been used for one of these. It is cut on kimono lines, but softly draped at either side of the front Dull gold braid, oddly tasseled in gilt and black beads, makes an edge finish, and a single large motif of the braid marks the fastening at one side. The garment is tinted in chiffon of the shade of light Parma violets, and the whole suggests a setting done in dainty French boudoir style. In the same spirit is designed a brighter model of flame color, with lace bodice and overjacket of flame, trimmed with changeable ribbon in a soft shade of light blue shot with flame.
