Above—Quaint as the crinolines of grandmother’s day is this hoop-skirted evening gown of black taffeta and net. The off-the-shoulder bodice is shirred to make the figure appear very slender. The wide skirt is worn over a genuine steel hoop. Notice how the old-fashioned locket _ points up the picture of quaintness, Right—The fall 1938 edict for elegance in evening fashions is ex- _ emplified in this youthful gown of black velvet with quaint puff sleeves of snowy white ermine.

‘By MARIAN YOUNG oe : NEW YORK, Sept. 1(NEA)—Romantic gowns with strapless and off-the-shoulder decolletages are given great prominence in fall and winter collections, Period styles are the news of the hour. It's a fall to pin your curls atop your head and dance in a hoop skirted gown. There are hoop skirts galore, ‘quantities of strapless types and a few bustle draped skirts. The princess silhouette which-makes the waistline appear positively diminutive is ‘prevalent. And the silhouette that is tubular to the knees and exaggeratedly flared below, in the Spanish as well as the 1900 mood, is shown by many Paris couturiers. \ Vionnet and Lelong still show the high-waisted, Empire silhouette. In the houses of Mainbocher, Lanvin and Magga Rouff, there are a few trains—always on gowns of stiff fabrics with back fullness. In contrast to the romantic, period evening fashions are streamlined, utterly modern creations with moderate fullness, if any, at hemlines. These accent the bosom and make the waistline seem tiny as do those in the former category. Some are strapless, but the majority have rather high, distinctly modest decolletes. Embroideries, particularly metallic and sequin varieties, are important. Quilting, both in dresses and packets, is revived. Generally speaking, dinner dresses have slim skirts. But look at those which include ful, floor-length skirts and shirtwaists with full sleeves. - Also at slim skirts with snug jackets, gayly embroidered with sequins or metallic thread. If your budget is limited, an evening gown with a jacket is an ideal choice because you then have a formal dance dress as well as a dinner outfit. Furthermore, given one simple, foundation-type evening gown with a matching jacket, any woman with imagination will choose other jackets, belts, scarfs and the like with which to make the one costume seem like six. : ; Lame and dull metallic materials that have the appearance of molten gold are popular. Sumptuous velvets, fine lace, suave silk crepes with velvety, mat finishes and rich upholstery fabrics also are used by best couturiers. These, plus the dramatic lines of the gowns themselves, make the evening gown picture picturesque and elegant indeed.
