Show Long- BklrU. Chicago Evening Post One of the most pronounced features of the midwinter styles is the longskirts which have attached themselves to the bodice. Single and double skirts and also those that are unlike the material of which the gown is made elongate the fashionable corsage. Not only this, but at the rapid rate that these skirts are increasing in length it seems very probable prob-able that it will soon be recorded that they have reached the knees. The highly developed "elaborations , of the upper part of the bodice and sleeves which have prevailed for some time, show no signs of abating with the taking on of additions to the lower part. Indeed, these elaborations seen? to be increasing rather than otherwise. There are two callars, one to close the bodice about the neck, and one for ornament, or-nament, on a large proportion recently made gowns, and as to sleeves the intricacy in-tricacy of their form and garniture is such that it would seem that enginuify must be exhausted in that direction. |
