CRINOLINES AGAIN
Crinolines, in returning to fashion, continually show how different they are from the crinolines of our grandmothers. A new type, instead of completely hiding the ankles and only just letting the feet peep out, while touching the ground on one side, is quite short on th* other, reaching tittle below the knee.
These one-sided crinolines have a. very modern look, while still retaining a certain "picture" air. Sometime the garments has the whalebone stiffening of the crinoline proper, but more often the fullness is produced by many layers of lace over a taffeta foundation.
•A particularly charming dress of this, type was of pale pink taffeta. The crinoline effect was produced by layers of silver lace on one side and at the bottom forming a little train, which was carried looped over her arm while dancing.
Not all one-sided crinoline dresses less formal occasions have the usual hem, ending an inch or two from the end in a train; others intended for o-round on the lofig crinoline side.
