Street Costume of Blue Voile.
A charming street costume is developed in the fashionable royal blue voile. It shows handsome front facing of English embroidery, giving it a high and elegant finish. The long-shouldered effect, now so rapidly gaining in popularity, is admirably carried out, and fringes, which are likewise coming to the front, help to carry out this effect. Fringes are also seen on the skirt, which has a slight sweep back on which a front panel is introduced. Corcovado spool silk is used throughout on this very jaunty street gown.
For fashionable material there are voiles, etamines, hopsack, canvas cloth, veiling, crepes galore, and rough, natty, heavily tufted Kinlochburn suitings.
This latter material is considered very smart for the trim walking suit in the Norfolk or "corset" coat style, and the main decoration lies in stitching and motifs of plain fabrics, introduced to match one of the flecks in the materials.
Equally delightful are the looser makes of hop-sacks and coarser voiles, which adapt themselves so well to the gauged style, both in yoke and hip piece, and it must be here remembered that close fabrics and strappings are giving way to looser gaugings and textures.
