EVE'S DRESS.

BACK TO FRILLS AND FLOUNCES (“Sun” Special ) LONDON, Tuesday. Ankles will be a novelty, - calves a mystery and kne’fjs only a memory if the latest dress designs become popular. “Back to Victorianism” is the slogan of the Autumn dress designers at Reville’s, whose show proves that the cycle is complete, for tube dresses are gone and frills and flounces and long skirts are back in favour. “It is. the greatest revolution'in 20 years,” declared an official of Reville’s to the special correspondent of “The Sun.” “Victorianism has been modiernised to provide for the absence of voluminous underclothing.” A rear view of many of the evening dresses makes the wearer appear stripped to the waist, except for a rope of jewels, from, which the whole dress hangs. The front view discloses only the neck. Most of the models are tight round the waist and hips, and flow away, often sweeping the ground with trains.

Black is the more popular color for evening wear.

Afternoon growns are made in flowing lines, one having a four-yard applegreen train and a Medici collar. Outdoor frocks continue to be short, just below > the knee. Jewellery will be displayed more lavishly, apd bracelets of 'beaten gold and platinum, bright-coloured stones, jade and gold plaques, topaz and aquamarine necklaces will be worn.
