For instance, a gown of metal lace may have a wrap made of a brilliant bril-liant hued velvet with a broad back panel of the lace or brocade. When the wrap is open at the front the gown is revealed in the effect of a second panel. This it an attractive idea and gives a feeling of harmony between the gown and the wrap The Oriental Note Is Sounded By Vionnet '"pilE sketch at the upper left of this page shows one of the best models I Upper rou reading from the left Evening nvap of bright 'colored velvet, having a back panel of lace to match the evening gown with which it is worn.

The back panel only is in metal brocade. Vionnet embodies some original ideas in an evening dress composed of bright red mous9ehiinc, chiffon and red crepe Romaln. This gown lis decidjsdly Oriental in appearance. ! It leaves the shoulders and chest I nude except for a gold cord around the neck and l. point uf the front I panels which is attached to this cord. Nothing could be simpler than this i dress nor more startling. It is cut in slender godet or circular style with a sling panel suvpended from : the gold neck cord. The panel ex tends from front to back, passing under the hem of the skirt between the ankles in Oriental fashion. The Jabot Back In New Evening Gowns rj,IIE entire weight of the dress is suspended from t lie cord around the neck. There is no other means of holding it on. The decolletage i- cut straight around under tho arms j and deeply embroidered in gold. The panel also is embroidered in gold, the pattern in thjs instance being very narrow and fine. This model i sketched on to-day's page. Vionnet also ha? a series of white and colored satin crepe and crepe de chine dresses studded with bri3-liants bri3-liants and embroidered with silver I i (! . P ' i tubes. The decolletage is curiously formed by stringing slender points on a siher cord, whic h encircles tne neck at a half low line. There is, however, a deep exposure of shoulder and chest through the intercstices of the points. Another effect quite startling is the jabot back evening gown, which is developed in moire. The two jahotSj winch are really back panels -falling from tho shoulclera to almost al-most the hem, show the reverse side of the moire. The neckline at the front of the dress is high while in the back it is cut to a deep point which reaches almost to the waistline. |
