Show Hints Tor Home Drcsstnakeis. Harper's Bazar gives these hints to amateur ama-teur dressmakers: "Economists who make their own evening dresses are most success ful when following the simplest models. They can also purchase pretty materials at small cost. The fashionable shot moires are already copied in light evening colors, stylishly striped with black in mixed fab rics with silken surface that are sold for seventy five cents ft yard. These are very effective when used under net or chiffon, either white, black or colored, and trimmed with bows of satin ribbon. Soft satin sumhs make charming gowns for young girls when cut with rather full skirt and a baby waist, with deep chiffon frill around the neck and black velvet belt with long sash ends. Striped gauzes with a filet or thread of black in each stripe are pretty transparents for freshening a faded or soiled silk dress of last winter. The gauze may be of the color of the silk or in contrast to it, the latter giving the newer shot effect. "The becoming black dresses that are seen on every occasion may be made at small expense ex-pense when a black moire, satin or brocade j of a. previous season is utilized as a founda- : tion for black point d'esprit net, or jetted net, or the pretty black chiffon. Colored silks or satins are also used for these foun- ' dations in pearl tints, pink, green or yel , low. Thesatin bell skirt is covered plainly with tle black transparent and bordered with a black ruche thickly spangled with jet. A full, low, round corsage has black velvet bretelles, belt and sash that are also spangled. Puffed sleeves of the spaugled fabric are made of becoming length or to meet the tops of the gloves." |
