"LEG OF MUTTON" SLEEVES.
VICTORIAN FASHION AGAIN.
The " leg of mutton " sleeve is fashionable again at Home. Every dress shop window in Regent Street bears some proof of its revived popularity as a fashion feature, we are told. It is carried out in any materialvelvet, taffeta, net, lace, or satin —and takes a variety of forms. The most popular puff for day wear is a fat, single tyre round the or two dainty double ones, or, again, a long, sagging fullness from elbow to wrist. For dinner and dance frocks the shape is that of a balloon on or just below the shoulder —.1 bigger, better puff than ever our grandmothers flaunted. Sleeveless evening dresses are seriously challenged by the revival of the Victorian " leg of mutton " sleeve.
