Show Black Broadcloth for Evening Wear I Ever so many of tho skirts which wrap tightly around tho figure have fullness lot In by means of narrow I godets on ono sldo only toward the I front They may bo laid In whero the I eklrt laps over and forms tho closing. I Chcrult has resorted to black broad doth for evening dress. She embroiders embroid-ers It In white. One such model has a novel skirt with ono sldo wrapping over the long train, while tho other comes from underneath tho train, fit ting the figure quite snugly. On the skirt aro two bands of embroidery In leaf design. Long, full sleeves are of white lace. Bo, also aro the sides and back of the bodlco, the latter having an nppllqucd equaro of tho broud j Another model which Is very lovely I Is of whlto brocade nnd black laco. It pli own the corsage swathed about tlie (bunt and cut fairly low In tho back. A length of tho black 'ace outlines tho 2 tqunro decollotngo at tho back. This 1 1 band, about sis Inches at the small of tl the back, widens until It Jo at least It tweho Inches ovor tho shoulders, end jHk then It falls at tho front lu pointed ends. Tho skirt Is short nnd of tho wrapped type, and thero Is n black lucu train attached to tho walstllno ut tho side. Scarf Adds Distinctive Touch. A most Importnnt movement In evening eve-ning dresses might bo termed tho scarfllko movement. It appears on many models and may bo described In this way: Tho sllhouetto of a straight chemlsa dress Is changed by attaching n scarf to tho hem of tho skirt or to tho belt of the dress. Bcarfs starting at tho bolt lino always loop at tho bottom bot-tom of tho dress and then up, forming tho bodice, swathing tho shoulders and falling down one sldo. Theso scarfs are of the samp material ns the dress. This Beasou's ovening dresses nro much less decolleto than they have been for somo tlmo past All of tho models today show n rather high neck lino for ovonlng gowns. I |
