FASHION'S FANCIES
3 April 1913
Bulgarian colors are seen in the peplum jackets of satin, worn with cloth
skirts. To preserve the good lines of the soft, clinging gowns wear a low
corset and brassiere. A tailored bow of a vivid color is seen under a piece
of lace or net that fills in the slashed skirt. Marie Stuart effects in
collars are much used in Paris. They are carried out in velvet, satin, fur
and plaited lace. Jet girdles are encircling many evening gowns. These are
made of large flat jet beads arranged on a net foundation. Plaited peplums
are noticeable on party frocks for young girls. They look prettiest when
made of chiffon, tulle or net. Belts are high in favor on coat dresses and
skirts. Usually the belt is placed just across the back to hold in a little
fullness. Mantelets of taffeta made up in colors contrasting to that used in
the gown are very chic. Very often these are draped to give the pannier
effect. The Watteau effects are very popular and graceful on some figures.
They should be avoided by the persons whose figure does not have straight
lines. -------------Bell Sleeves.Sleeves made of soft flowing material show
decided change. The bell sleeve is popular, but it is much modified and not
nearly so baggy as formerly.
