Airy Lace Is Newest Thing

For New Year's Dance Gowns

By GERTRUDE BAILEY Times Special Writer

It wouldn't be feminine to greet

the New Year in the same old dress.

That's why sheer, airy young dance formals are appearing in holiday colors in the evening gown shops right now.

Fashion is ready to put you in a celebrative mood. You'll ‘feel 10 years younger and look it, too, in crisp lace that shows another color

dancing through its pattern, in the lightest, gayest version of the hoopskirt, in a new formal gown designed not just for this season but for next year. : The style-sensitive put away their opulent brocades by the end of December. They're ready to face the calendar in styles. that predict things to come—a trip South, gala nights here that take no notice of the weather, care-free dancing moods with best friends and exciting new acquaintances.

Offer Brilliant Hues

That's a pretty large order for a dressmaker, you say? There's a lace dress that matches the red of confetti. Another that crisps out like a hoopskirt, with a modern leaf motif threading all over it. Prettiest in cornflower blue. Fatal on blonds. : A sheerest black lace, almost like a shadow lace, drifting over cham-pagne-colored net on a matching foundation. of taffeta. A pale chartreuse gown of corded Chantilly lace with a triple border of velvet ribbon in slightly deeper tones of the fresh green shade. The taffeta slip is part of the crisp, fresh mood of the New Year styling. Finally the flush of fuchsia, the color that’s going South in the smartest wardrobes, in a corded lace gown with a flower pattern. : These are the gowns that tell you a new glamour, debutante variety,

has come over lace dresses. They're no longer just gowns to take on a trip because they pack well, require no pressing on a boat, or because of their inconspicuousness can always “get by.” : are mighty fine “packers,” but they're more likely to emerge as belles of the party rather than part of the crowd. This is due partly to the more delicate patterns, fragile openwork fabrics, but even more to the young styling of the gowns in which these fabrics are being used for the next year.

There’s Clouds of Skirts

In place of the classic molded line you'll find clouds of skirts, seductive draping in bodices that glorify the youthful figure, daring decolletages, and exciting color contrasts that show to great advantage through the film of cobweb sheerness. And to think that for years matrons cornered the lace market just because lace dresses always appeared with matching slips that left no mystery to be solved. By combining the filmy fabrics with the perky ones, lace over taffeta, the designers have hit on a young idea that is the freshest thing in fashion right now. The rustle is only partly hidden, while the sheer floating quality of the lace never is restrained, except through the waist, where we prefer a defining line, The intricate patterns of the laces themselves keep this fashion from becoming a rubber stamp. Individuality is increased further by the use of border laces for wide hemlines, of stripe patterns—still delicate, mind you—in chevron effects for the skirt, harizontally for the bodice that easily suggests the bolero line. Lace dresses designed to dance are fashion news. They're young.

They're new as next year. Forget the old styles. On with the new.
