Spotlight on New Season Modes

flowers are destined as trimming on many-of th® JLf new-season evening dresses, posed either at the decolletage or Jy 'sf the waistline. \ Fagoting is appearing on many of the imported models. Navy tulle is prominent among overseas collections for evening frocks on flowing lines, with freely flowing capes to match—sponsored by Chanel. The hood influence is extending to formal dresses and when not on the head they adopt a double cape-like simulation at the shoulders. ' • Lace with velvet is a fashion revival which will meet with much' success as the weeks go by. , Ostrich trimming is one of the highlighted themes since the Jubilee fashions came into being. Cartwheel hats wreathed in it are the very last note. Soft, rather than frilly—that is the new note in sleeve and neckline treatment. For instance, jabots may be softly gathered, not pleated, and ruffled edgings also achieve soft rather than perky outlines. Back fullness is achieved in many of the imported models by means of shirred or smocked panels or inset sections. Purple flower prints are promised as the choice of young women —hitherto they have been relegated to the older ones. Lavender, mauve, violet, iris, are all youth-loving variations of purple. Cotton evening frocks have a definite place in the summer mode, made on tailored lines. 1 • Pique trimmings on taffeta or other silky fabrics are recommendations from Chanel and Marcel Rochas. Worth has sponsored a combination of dissimilar fabrics—black' velvet and linen unite in a two-third coat and skirt with flowered silk organdie House—tinsel suit with wool knit jumper—printed silk organdie blouse and jacket with linen skirt.
