MEDALLION STRAPS FOR EVENING WEAR
Medallions in gay colours, rather like th e cameo brooch worn In Victorian days, arc the very latest notion for adorning evening gowns. Instead of ordinap’ straps or sleeves. a chain of little composition medallions support the dress across the shoulders, A row of ornaments of the same design may form a girdle or may descend in a straight line from the right hip to the hem of the short skirt.
As a rule, these medallion ornaments are oval with some quaint design embossed upon them. Others are square and have a still more original effect. Sealing-wax red is perhaps the most popular colour for this trimming, but a vivid green also looks extremely smart. Black medallions gave a simple, rather tight-fitting georgette frock an extremely chic and original air at a big reception the other night.
In the usual way medallions appear on the little black dinner frocks that arc so extremely fashionable at the moment. Chiffon is considered the smartest material for this kind of dress, although there are signs that a new kind of shiny satin will soon be equally popular.
