DECORATIVE WAISTS
v 's fashion this seasonl to emphasise the waist-line, which is slowly returning to its natural position, states a woman writer in the London "Daily Chronicle." Clever sash arrangements that show swathed ribbons of contrasting colours are used by Parisian dressmakers to give a broad effect to the line ol waist. Many gowns introduce slanting sashes of fine black, beige, or white lace, that, finishing with a large bow, are caught with a big steel buckle, and Held low on the hip on one side. J-his new fashion applies more exclusively to smart daily toilettes suitable for garden party wear. For although trimmed waists are a feature of evening gowns—these mostly take the form of wide plastron trimmings made of wonderful reproduction jewels. A simpler and very pretty fashion much in favour for trimming marocain and crepe georgette dresses is the placing of a double row of hand-made roses, fashioned of the same material as tlie dress, which are used to trim the trout of the waist; a- single row of this same eftectivc trimming reappearing on the front of the hem.
