Show Newest Lingerie. Is Luxurious and Smartly Trimmed There In a luxurious trend in this year's Christmas lingerie. Shimmering satins, soft laces, and flower-flecked prints appear in the shining mounds heaped high for Christmas shoppers. Hnnd-msde effects (much less expensive than they hava been) are increasingly important, and the smooth finish and restrsint in design, reflective of the best designers, can be seen even in lingerie which sells for modest prices. The slim pencil-line seen In many housecoats snd day dresses is reflected re-flected in the slender cut of new lingerie, sines full shirted slips and nightdresses are not comfortable under slender frocks and house coats. Thus a whole host of Christ-maa Christ-maa slips in crspe and ahimmer-ing ahimmer-ing satin (which continues to mount in favor) are cut with slim skirts and long, curved, fitted waistlines. Work has been done above the waist, chiefly by elasticised inserts, to snsbls them to mold diaphragm and lift the bust. They come in a flattering scale of pinks running from flash to petal, in psls blues and ivory beiges, and are accented with fine handwork hand-work details and lace. Binche and Valenciennes are amarter than Al-encon Al-encon this year. Nightdresses dsslgned for Christmas Christ-mas are almost aa auave and formal for-mal In cut as evening gowns. Full bias skirts, softly fitted waistlines waist-lines and drapsd shoulder lines or lacs insets Disks them decidedly smsrt Boms of the newest, made of mouueline or soft crepe satin, are designed with long full bishop sleeves or short puffed ones. |
