Black net gown with Jet paillettes pail-lettes and black velvet. La Nouvelle Mode. ,-. m CORRESPONDENCE TRIBUNE New York A. touch of white on a dark gown is always effective, and even in the middle of winter, dark cloth costumes cos-tumes with facings of white trimming in fancy black and white effects arc noticeable no-ticeable as having a certain distinctive appearance that is most attractive. At tho moment the fashion for trimming, plain cloths and velvets with bands of fancy velvet, either embroidered on the velvet or in brocade, is so popular as to stand in danger of being rather overdone. over-done. The embroidery is worked either in colored "braids, heavy silks or applique ap-plique design. A while background cloth or silk with the embroidery or braid in black and white or black or black and silver is the smartest for the moment, and It Is amazing how many different designs and patterns can be evolved by a clever designer. A charming charm-ing costume of dark blue heavy cloth, not zihellne but a rough finish, Is made In wide box pleats,, libth skirt and coat pleated. The jacket is short, but fits close to the pique at the back and can be fastened over in double-breasted style in front. The costume at first glance Is not noticeable except that It Is exceptionally well cut and iltted, but the trimming' bands of white cloth braided with black and white fancy braid that -trim tho front of the coat and form the collar and cuffs give the smartest possible touch and make tho costume so becoming. A. block velveteen gown is trimmed with white satin revers collar and cuffs braided with a round silver cord, and the trimming changes a simple little costume into an. cxcoSdlngly. smart one. To people who always find something to criticise- the fashion of trimming plain clothes and velvet-with bands of fancy velvet, embroidered, brocade, savors a little of curtains and portieres, but most effective is the style and growing steadily stead-ily in favor A dark green costume made with long semi-fitting coat has a broad band around the bottom of the coat of green and red brocade velvet, tho shawl shape collar and cuffs are of the brocaded bro-caded velvet to match, and the .entire effect is most satisfactory. On a brown cloth bands collars and cuffs of a mixed red and brown velvet are the most effective ef-fective trimming possible, while on a black costume black and white plaid velvet with v.alst a shaggy pile to the I velvet makes the coat decidedly original origi-nal In appc-aranco and removes the whole costume from the rank of a simple sim-ple black costume. Narrow band, separated about two inches, giving the effect of tucks is a rather favorite and quite new idea in the trimming of skirts. Persian velvet fancy braid or embroidery used In this fashion Is certainly a novelty, and such attractive colorings can be found that the fashion bids fair to remain in favor fa-vor for some time to come. |
