1 Velvet Becomes Satin’s Rival 11
Just bow it happens has never been
explained, but it happens every little
while that a certain style seizes the at
tention, simultaneously, of women all
over the length and breadth of the
land. Merchants wake up some morn*
fna to find that apparently evefy Wom
uij has made up her mind over night
that she wants one kind of fabric, one
particular color, one style. Just now
it seems that every woman wants a
velvet gown, in addition to the satin
frock for which there has been a uni
versal demand. It seems that the
shops saw this wave of demand rolling
In, and that designers and manufac
turers were prepared for it,
Designers require supple materials
for frocks and they have determined
on chiffon velvets in very wide widths,
and the finest grades of velveteen, as
best suited to their purposes. These
are used for afternoon and evening
dresses. The heavier grades of vel
veteen will answer for suits, but the
more flexible stuffs are liked for every
thing and chiffon velvets are in such
demand that they bring very high
ifcrices. The best grades of velveteen
are by no means cheap. By way of,
recompense, velvet frocks are very
simply designed and fussy decorations
art^ conspicuous by their absence on
them; so that the minimum of goods
is required.
These points are apparent in the
pretty frock for afternoon, shown at
the left of the two nictured here, ft is of
___ I
wide, light-Weight velveteen in marine
blue, This skirt has six round plaits
set on at each side—widening the hip
lines—and this arrangement of the ma
terial is borrowed from a Paris de
signer who introduced it early in the
season. Aside from this small vagary,
it is plain. The bodice has a plain
back and surplice front filled in with
flesh-colored georgette. One side of
the front is extended into a soft girdle,
finished at the front with a handsome
beaded ornament. The long sleeves
have a turned-back frill of velveteen.
The small muffler collar is a separate
affair that swathes the neck in soft
folds and buttons at the side. It may
be taken off indoors.
Satin gowns reveal that their design
ers are more or less devoted to draped
skirts, the model pictured being among
the simplest of these. In this frock a
smock of satin, split to the waistline
at the left side, is covered with a sun
burst pattern and points made of silk
braid couched on. The design is an
Aztec inspiration pure and simple and
a long girdle of satin ending In tassels
repeats it. a plain turndown collar
and deep cuffs of the satin are impor
tant details in this frock and help to
account for its distinction.
