[Am. Rights Rssnuvro J A COSTUME WITH BIBBON COLLAR. WSJtfLEATS and gauginga are by no 2|CF means losing their hold on f asnion, «si? but will be profusely used throughout the autumn and winter, toe new costumes being very much pleated, while gauging is met with in a 1888I 888 degree, perhaps, but nevertheless fairly frequently. There are several varieties of gauged skirts, aneidymade skirt of soft silk for demi-toilette wear being arranged with three deep flounces with gauged headings while another is corded and gauged from the waist downwards for a short distance, and other skirts are provided with gauged yokes or single flounces. A model of a corded and gathered skirt is sketched in the full-length figure in this column, the blouse that accompanies the dress having one of the new ribbon collars.
The tops of the sleeves repeat the gauging, while epaulets of guipure and a novel arrangement, of guipure on the upper part of the blouse, with cuffs of lace to match, complete the design. Any of the fashionable soft silks, or a merveiileux satin, may be speoially. urged as suitable for making up a dress of the kind, inasmuch as gauging should always be allied with a soft, thin material. The blouse could be en suite with the skirt, or of a finer material. For really useful purposes, a skirt of black merv, or some such soft silk, would be the best choioe, while the blouse might be cream., or coloured, or black if preferred, auS W the event of a black, cream, or cerise blouse of chiffon, or crepe de chine being selected, one might decide on a ribbon collar of cerise satin-ribbon or ribbon-velvet with the. certainty of completing JjT dress very prettily. . A DINNER BLOUSE. The tale of the blouse remains very much the same as formerly, little novelty of design being introduced in Monies as yet As a serviceable blouae for evening wear at theatres, dinners and soirees, the simple accordion-pleated short sacque of chiffon, remains a great favourite. The
dinner-blouse sketched is o'# fc/PJ»'iS' and is composed of black cipffon ivory-ooloured lace about it. Nothing Jr oould be simpler than this charming little y sacqie, and few styles Trill be found mow ffl generally becoming. The aleeveß are . long and wide at the ends, and the sacqne 1 is mounted on a slip of {chiffon over gua* < J Bilk, and fastens, of oourse, at the back, n
