BACK OF GOWN ASSUMES OUTSTANDING IMPORTANCE

Decolletage Can Mar or Make Dress BY JEAN PATOC Writtfo for NE-V Service PARIS, Jan. 22.—A beautiful gown is one the* presents some feature of particular interest when seen from any angle. This feature alone will be sufficient to crown the gown a creation, but it must never be too striking nor out of harmony with the general line. It is inevitable, when creating a model, that a couturier be drawn to a more detailed study of either the front or the back of a dress. Interest perhaps v ill have been centered for season after season on the fronts of dresses and then suddenly you will find them veering to backs. Ihe Way of Paris Fashions •A curious effect of fashions is that every couturier will be found to have followed the same movement. This may be attributed to their incessant search for something new, but every couturier will find his very own idea reproduced in other collections. Thus intangible and incomprehen'iblc is this atmosphere of Paris fashions! During the last two seasons It is very evident that backs have occupied the center of the stage in the fashion world. It has become the important feature of many gowns, especially those for the evening, and one necessitating the most, careful attention. This, after all, was but a natural reaction. For years the front of dresses has been monotonously flat, any movement desired had perforce to be placed at the back. The result now is that as much study is given to the back as to the front, a fact that would have appeared incredible a few years ago. The decolletage invariably has been the subject of controversy. Harmony Is Important To resume my thoughts on the subjec., I would say that the neckline should bear evidence to a desire for harmony. If, therefore, a dress has pointed effects on the skirt it naturally follows that the \bodice should have a “V” neck. 1 A dress with rounded panel effects, for example, must necessarily have an oval-shaped decollete. Have you ever noticed how often an otherwise perfect gown is marred by the decollete? In some instances, it is too low, in others it is totally unsuited to the wearer of the gown. The use of rather narrow’ bands of the same material as the dress has been a favorite theme for the two last collections as a back trimming in the form of loops, bolero or just simply a cress-over effect. As all waisted evening gowns in my collection were bloused at the back, I found these bands a considerable improvement and one that ‘‘dressed" a decollete very satisfactorily.
