The Trend To Fulness In Front
New York—No more comprehensive picture of current fashions can be painted than a sort of blanket description of the various fashion shows which shops have been tendering us. On the whole, suits dominated the more practical showings, not the classic tailleur, but the dressmaker suit leading.
The dolman sleeve and the blouse back were the evidence in the dressmaker type of suit and in dressier coats. Many coats were of the double-breasted type, showing broad revers and full sleeve treatment.
Jackets were fitted, often of print worn with a plain gown, or they were on the box styling.
Capes were varied as to length and treatment, though, for the most part, detachable.
Broad belts of silver, gold or a contrasting color were often worn with collared, long-sleeved, floor-lengths gowns.
Other accessory highlights were chamois hat and gloves, a color that could be worn by women of all ages.
Pastel shades in tweeds were impressive, and sportswear reflected the feminine influence by the predominance of pink and gray combined.
The decolletage with upstanding flange is new and flattering, also the one with turnover band.
Flower outlined necklines are perfect for spring and summer, including large flowers that practically cover the bosom and garlands in lei fashion.
Sketched today, the dress at the extreme left, developed in a daisy print, described as a pure dye silk, is done in geranium red, leaf green and white.
The seated figure wears a cape costume, in a heavy sheer fabric that has the look of wool, but isn't. The cape is treated with shirred bands for borders, and the bodice has a crisp detail.
A starred chiffon is chosen for the soft frock that has a collar of embroidered mousseline de soie making a flattering line at the throat.
Vaporous chiffon is selected for the dress at the right, fashioned on simple shirtwaist lines, with shirred fulness in the sleeves and bodice.
Pleats provide fulness for the skirt.
