S I L K C O ST U M E S.

IL K COSTUMES are very e laborate ly m ade and richly trim m ed, indeed

never was there m ore m aterial used, there is l i teral ly flounce over floun ceand tun ic over tun ic .

ery l it t le trim m ing except the silk, ve l ve t , beads and fur are used a

new k ind of fiossy si l k daisy fringe has been in troduced and the newes t m akeof but tons have a silk ne twork over them .

A great deal of Piece Ve lvet of the sam e colour as the dress is in troduced inAutum n and W in ter D resses brough t from Paris. Bands of ve l ve t som e

hal f yard deep are often carried across the fron t breadths, confin ing the fulnessat the back, where they term inate in bows and sash ends . There is very l i t t letrim m ing on the back breadths save a flounce at the edge, and when not

fron cé at the top they are arranged in broad box plai ts one over the other.

The skirts are inordinate ly long and are t ied back t igh t ly, giv ing the appearanceof swathing the fig ure in fron t .Froncis, or G athers, are as m uch in V ogue as during the sum m er

,and are

used on fron t breadths , and som et im es at the upper par t of the back of thesk irt

,and on the sleeves the m odes of gathering be ing various.

The F loun ces on the skirt are generally w ide at the back and gathered, be ingedged w ith narrow p lissé frills, v iz . , plai ted all one way and caught down on lyhalf the length . Those on the back always differ from the fron t , if there are

any, these are general ly narrower, or v ice Bern i . Puffings at the side are som e

t im es used, bu t side trim m ings are not so m uch adopted as earl ier in the year.

The Bodices have all basques, and are generally m ade as sleeve less jacke ts ofvelve t , or of the shade of the m aterial in term ixed w ith the res t of the costum e.

Som e t im es these have revers, or poin ted col lars at the throat , m ade of plaitedsilk

, or they are fas tened down the fron t wi th bands and but tons crossing eachother. Viol in backs are also the fashion , viz . , a p iece in .

the V shape, differingfrom the rest , in troduced in to the back . The sleeves fit closely to the arm , and

have cuffs and but tons .

MATELASSE has a very rich appearance both for sleeve less jacke ts and

polonaises . Very l it tle trim m ing is requ ired. They are worn w ith silk skirtsand are the newest fashion of the season .

A m ong other pre t ty styles of skirt trim m ing is the in troduct ion of a“fron cefron t of a con trast ing colour

,open ing in the cen tre wi th a w ide heading, to

display the skirt underneath . On the le ft side is a t iny pocke t m ade of froncési lk , rem inding one of som e of the dain ty Norm andy baske ts .

B lack ve lve t tabl ier tun ics deep in fron t and rounded at the back where theyterm inate be low sash ends of rich grosgrain ribbon are perfec t works of art, inthe m at ter of e laborate beading designs w ith which they are covered. Theyare edged e ither w ith fringe or fur, and have sleeve less jacke ts to m at ch.
