Show DIAGONALS ARE IN FAVOR FOR SUMMER Anything that is diagonal In weave, diagonal In pattern or diagonal in cut has the approval of Paris these days. Criss-cross stripes are a success. They are used for every type of costume; sweaters are hand-knitted in striped patterns, blouses are made of diagonally striped silks, woolen dresses are cut of serges that show plainly their diagonal weave, tweed coats. In plain colors are cut on diagonal diag-onal lines. ' Many of the new dresses and coats are made of vertically or horizontally horizontal-ly striped fabrics, but are cut on the bias, so that the result Is a diagonal stripe. The whole effect Is one of slashing lines, but lines which make the figure look more slender than the old-fashioned stripe which "cut off" one's figure and had a tendency to make It look dumpy. |
