Among the Style Show Frocks
Among the pretty frocks shown at the style show was this one of poplin, indulging in narrow bands of velvet, and in plaited panels at the back and front. Only silk frocks can be allowed the extravagance of plaits: it is out of the question to allow extra quantities of wool for them. This attractive dress has more than a generous allowance of plaits to its credit, for it displays a new management of the bodice. For the slender woman who aspires to wear a straight line dress but hopes not to look angular, this is a model worth studying.
The bodice is extended several inches below the waistline and is straight, with bands of velvet that relieve its plainness and improve the figure. The sleeves are banded in the same way and finished with a velvet cuff—that is simply a wide band.
The little jacket is plain and has a shoulder cape that widens the shoulder lines, and it falls in a slight ripple over the bust.
