Revers and Color Effects.

For many seasons past if a gown was made with revers, the number used was always two. Invariably these revers were an exact counterpart of each other. Not only in coloring and design were they alike, but they were the same size and placed on the gown directly opposite one another. Now the best dressmakers are no longer partial to two revers. Either one or three are used on the most fashionable gowns. One large revers is regarded as very chic. It is usually of the same material as the bodice and is richly braided or covered with lace. When three.revers are used, they are always graduated in size. The first revers is the smallest, the other two acting as its background. They look best in three tints of one color, but all sorts of very pretty color effects are possible with them.—New York Journal.
