The Dress Flower
The latest version of the dress flower is much more delicate and fantastic than the ordinary artificial article of silk or velvet. A rose, mammoth in size, is made of flaming georgette, the petals unwired, without edges. Large, snowy white lilies are formed of some filmy stuff, and have centres and stamens of silver tipped with rhinestones. Some of the loveliest flowers suitable for trimming evening gowns are made of feathers. These, in delicate colours, are most engaging. Stiff, conventional boutonnieres, of metal, gilt, or silver, are still very smart.
