Gossamer is the fine web spun by a spider. Gossamer Gos-samer is also a fine form of gauze. A gown of gauze is a gossamer gown. Or a gown that by its lightness suggests the spider's web is a gossamer garment. Designers of gowns should endeavor to give evening gowns that light quality. The evening robe of such quality is especially adapted to youthful wearers. The more they approach the fibre of gossamer the more beautiful are articles of lingerie. I have told you that thev are of utmost desirability in house gowns. The inspiration for the gown shown by the larger of the figures on this page was a spider's web which I saw shining in the dew in my garden last Summer. Walking Walk-ing down the path, I saw it stretched delicately yet; boldly between two rose bushes. So delicate it was that a touch of the lightest finger would have fiung it to the breeze. The child who insisted that the web was spun by the fingers of fairies on a loom cf.rose leaves 1 allowed to nurse her charming illusion.

This Peignoir Is of Chiffon in Colors Inspired by an Early Morning Walk in the Great Designer's Garden t 1 i i 6f his existence? Too soon the ugly facts of life intrude and will not be denied. The colors on this house gown are three, with variants of the shades. Yet I copied nature precisely in the example of beauty furnished me by the bit of gossamer in my garden. - For the gossamer effect I selected the material mate-rial most like gossamer. The lightest chiffon is the building material. Had I not been able to secure this most delicate of chiffons I would have found a filmy tulle or a diaphanous net. The sleeves, you see, are like a butterfly's wings in lightness, in variety of color and in shape. The skirt of chiffon over satin is obedient to the silhouette that is the mode. The wide girdle is of vari-colored ribbon, aiding the rainbow cil'ect of the colors. The second figure, less ornate, depends chiefly for its beauty upon the delicate loveliness of its tunic. Both represent the triumphs of my studio this season, yet I have designed others as lovely. I recall with pleasure one which was a series of swathings in blue and rose chiffon. Like Salome's Sa-lome's seven veils were these wrappings of chiffon. No two shades of the enwrapping gauzes were of the same shade of blue or the same variants of rose. Yet the colors were as fresh and lovely as the dawn. So like the dawu were they that I gave the exquisite peignor che name, Morning's First Blush. |
