Show TAFFETA FRILL MOST USEFUL Just the Right Thing to Supplement Hem of a Marquisette or Chiffon Frock. It is on the hem of a marquisette or chiffon frock that the brunt of the wear comes, but now fashion permits a taffeta frill at this point, and the skirt can trail without disturbing the wearer's peace of mind. A lovely chiffon gown is so finished, and to countenance the scanty frill shirred over cords at the hem there are two cordings in the chiffon a little above the knee and about two inches apart. These pull in but do not hobble the fulness of the skirt, which is again shirred over a heavy cord at the waist line. The frock, of course, i3 a one-piece one-piece affair. The surplice waist closes with two gorgeous buttons and finishes in a narrow rolling collar of taffeta. Over the taffeta collar is a second collar col-lar of filmy handkerchief linen adorned with finest Madeira handwork, which takes the shape of a monk's cowl at the back. The taffeta again appears in a quaintly twisted bow and sash ends which are attached at the waist line. |
