Embroideresses and braiders are busier with their needles than they have been for many years, for as in the bygone days, gala dresses, walking costumes, morning gowns, negliges, and underlinen are all to be largely ornamented with needle work. The Incroyable ladies in their redingotes, ample neckerchiefs, beribboned and beplumed hats; the Merveil- leuses, in their transparent draperies, the classic ladies in their girdled peplums and tunics, depended largely for the enriching of their garments on embroideries. Flowers worked in shaded silks, muslin covered with sprigged and open work; fine linen embroidered and richly trimmed with lace: gold and silver thread worked into varied patterns— all these dainty trimmings are coming back into vogue, ’ woven braids are worked in raised silk and This is with fine sewing or — ns Things To Know.

The embroideries for dresses are many of them guipure. The tendency in all kinds of garnitures is to have the trimming so arranged that the material shows beneath. It is the fashion now to trim the hems of ‘gowns with hand borderings, and for this a new guipure has been brouzht out, which resembles leather. Everything would seem to be applied as borders, and no expense or time has been spared in bringing them to perfection as regards color and design. -Black jet and gold are combined in many of those handsome patterns which are easily divisible into distinct motifs. Many of the handsomest, in which braid is used, are united by close crochet. The colorings and mixtures of colors are harmonious, and accord well with the materials for which they are intended. The guipures are nearly all of mixed colorings, or of two shades of color. In the cut is shown the effect of net embroidery worked in relief with gold thread on a black velvet ground. This embroidery is used with charming results for the collar, cuffs and plastron of a reception or dinner dress. What used to be called “robings” bave ~ come back to us in the fore of elaborate trimmings for skirt fronts in two pieces, tapering to a point at the waist and wide at the base. Costly garnitures for bodice trimmings take the form of a Figaro jacket front, and large shoulder and back pieces in green, blue, gold and many other indefinite tints, well blended, edged with pe: lant drops and also jeweled. Here again the patterns were united by crochet. Mother of pear!. facets play an important part in many of the trimmings which are intended for bordering, being the principal part of floral designs on fine crocheted silver and gold cords. Laurel leaves, so well, worn during the empire epoch, appear frequently in this style of ornamentation. Home dressmakers will be glad to hear of some dress trimmings which give much style, and are easy to manipulate—viz, vests formed of rows of silver, gold, or metallic braids, herring boned over in purse silk, of distinct colorings, after the manner of. the ticking work, which many years ago was a fashionable class of needle work. ‘The vests are accompanied by cuffs and flap pockets, and are exceedingly ornamental.
