The World of Fashion.

By

MARGUERITE.

THE white dress always takes first place in Dame Fashion’s favour for summer wear. In its most picturesque phase this season it is made up in fine lawn and lace, with touches of exquisite hand embroidery and filmy veilings of ninon, in soft silk or satin eharmeuse veiled in mousseline de soie, and in its more severe but equally becoming form it is made of fine white faced cloth.

Broderie Anglaise is the most prominent trimming at the moment for the summer gowns in fine lawn, muslin, and even silk or satin, and now it is being used extensively on gowns in fine white faced cloth as well. The embroidery used in deep bordering effects is mostly worked in pale colourings, such, as soft blues, pinks, greys, mauves, and pale gold. The veiling of broderie Anglaise has been a favourite idea this season, many of the white dresses in such materials as satin, silk, muslin, and lawn, with this embroidery, being softly veiled in black ninon. Unlike the gowns in the softer materials the broderie Anglaise trimmings on the white cloth dresses are not veiled.
