FLOWER FRONTS.

Frocks with fronts made entirely from artificial flowers are among the most original new notions for day wear. The flowers are used in a variety of ways. The most popular method" is to have an inset chemisette, usually V-shaped, composed of silk and velvet flower heads and petals sewn flatly on to some suitable material. A dull blue repp frock mad© with a vest of rich-toned auriculas and for-get-me-nots sewn closely together, made an attractive example of the new fashion recently seen in London. An extremely attractive afternoon dress of black georgette and lace, skilfully draped ami with long wing sleeves, had a most original bodice part, made rather loosely and with a waist-deep Vshaped front, which was filled in with creamy pink roses. The effect was charming and was heightened by the wearers' big frilly black picture hat, on the brim of which nestled a spray of similar roses. . Flowers for flower-fronted frocks n«ed careful choosing. Violent colour contrasts must be avoided, and the flowers which are suited for using on plainer, more tailored frocks, are not always good for using on. frilly, fussier gowns.
