DRESS
By Anne Ritten’nouse
There is a Strong Attempt to Furbish ;
Up Taffeta in Various Ways to Make
it Appealing to the Purchaser of New
Clothes.
Taffeta is a difficult enemy to defeat.
It may so into oblivion for a season, hut j
it reappears strongly entrenched in j
fashion.
It is strange that the fight is usuallv ,
waged bet ween the dressmakers and the |
public. The former like the fabric; the
latter dislike it. Probably there is a 1
great deal on the market, and has been
for several years, which would account
for the fact that it is constantly seen
in tlio dressmakers’ salons and is offered
to the patrons as something new be
cause it is furnished up in a new way.
Anyone would know that the commer
cial world had plenty of blue serge ami
dark taffeta by the very reason of the
strenuous originality they apply to these l
fabrics. Each few months they appear !
in new gyise.
Afternoon frock of bronze taffeta with
a belt of geranium pink velvet rib
bon tied in front and a turban of ge
ranium straw with a brown aigrette.
Used in Splendid Manner.
The average woman may think that
black taffeta and blue serge arc com
monplace materials until she runs
against them full tilt in hall frocks, af
ternoon dance gowns, and sees them
trimmed with paillettes of jet. with gold
and silver embroidery and ribbons, with
precious lace, and with the colors of the
rainbow. She becomes bewildered and
wonders why so much time and thought
are recklessly lavished on materials that
she considers can be cut out at home
with a paper pattern and made to do
service for all those odds and ends of
hours during which no one needs gay
and fanciful apparel.
The answer lies n tie* scarcity of
materials in the world’s trad* . Shortage
of labor is responsible for this change
in fashion, as in everything else. As
long as fabrics are scarce, then ingenu
ity in treatment, originality in design
eccentricity in trimming are the sub
stitutes.
There never seems ' o be any dearth of
dressmakers, nor do tin* dressmaking
houses seriously «omplain of lark ot
order, although they are quit* frantic
over the lessened amount of labor, and
tlie sho/'er hours that go with an In
crease in wages. Everything takes
twice as long to make and is not as well
made. 11 seems to le a common com
plaint that bign wages have not brought
about the same product‘veness or the
same skill tliai existed when lower wages
were paid. All of which goes to show
sc, the cconon ist.s tnink, that the whole
turmoil s mora l , rather than financial.
The New Taffeta P'rocks.
Once upon *. time the exodus to tho
South was proclaimed by taffeta frocks.
This i: true >n oilier countries as well
as in America. It. H n.n- that the dress
makers take ;ip :'.ovclt!i • in rnidseaso/i. ,
They prefer '•> work out new schemes,
of cut and drapery in materials which I
are. j 1! estaM f-l ed.
Thero'rr -, taffeta leaps into the arena j
when January j .onear? It is the first
fabric to greet the New Year. Black!
taffeta Is not as dominating tills year!
as brown, which refers to clothes for
the day, not for the evening.
The f* cling for brown is quite strong
and every effort will h made by the
dressmakers to dangle i‘ constantly be
fore the public.
The sketch chews an afternoon frock
that could easily serve for seven o’clock
in the evenin., provider# one was not
cromt to a lab. The skirt iu made In
two deep puff-*, one shorter than the
other and sufficiently flaring at the
hips to give the effect of the trunks worn
by men in the 'Oi-/abethan reign. The
bodice is snugly fitted to the figure by
means of fold , not 1 •»:»< a or lining, and
th»j dccoUetag is deep enough to serve
for »!io ?n >s; formal r f gay occasions.
The brown tore cf this taffefn frock is
glittering bronze, and this permits the,
dressmaker to add a narrow' belt of;
geranium pink velvet ribbon which ties;
in front in a careless arrangement of
loops and ends. There is a modesty
piece of la'C across the front of the bod
ice
The hat is of geranium straw touched
