VOGUISH CORSETS.
The woman isn't in existence who hasn't a fondness for dainty lingerie, and the corset figures under this head.
Dainty and exquisite designs in corsets are making their appearance in a wide variety of cut and material.
All the cuts tend toward the deep dip in front and the long hip, while the materials consist of flowered silks and satins.
It has been admitted by people of unquestioned good sense and taste that the corset of today is cut and made in such a manner as to give the wearer an exquisite figure and comfort at the same time, and it will be a long time before it goes out, for the fashionable woman will not give up beauty and comfort without a struggle.
The ribbon corset is still with us and bids fair to stay, for the slender woman has made it popular.
One corset is in double satin ribbon, a pale primrose in color, and made a little broader than the ribbon corsets worn this summer. It fastens with four silver clasps and has six rows of stitching under each arm in dark primrose silk.
A pretty model in black satin is designed especially for women who are inclined to be a little stout.
It is trimmed profusely with fine black silk lace and has supporters at the front and sides.
Rows of tiny baby ribbon head the lace at the top and end in a large double bow at the front.
Another new model is of white taffeta silk embroidered in tiny white silk flowers.
It is made very long over the hips and all the stitching is in bright red silk.
The top is trimmed with a frill of silk. The top is trimmed with a frill of duchesse lace headed with a broad beading.
