The determination or the dress designer to break away from the straight, severe silhouette which has dominated the mode for so long is very evident in every costume which is destined for the smartest of summer race and other formal occasions. Skirts offer the greatest opportunity for displaying this trend. The first feature of importance is the almost universal concentration of fullness in one place, usually at one side, but quite often in the centre-front. Another important characteristic of the newest fashions is the irregular hem that dips down on one side, or else is longer in the back than the front. Curved girdles and bandings at the waistline or on the bodice are also calculated to lead the mode away from the straight line. However, the silhouette-waistline decisions may vary in the individual frocks, however the uneven hemline may dip and drip at its own sweet will, there is one unanimous fact about chic summer frocks, and that is that the hipline, in all and every sort of costume, must be fiat. This line, to be sure, like other things in life, may be subject to change,” but the fundamental silhouette is flat and figuredefining.

Two-piece and simulated two-piece frocks in lovely pastel shades, including peach, yellow and green, will appear in many delightful ways of dainty smartness. The circular movement is quite as evident in the skirt silhouette as the flat hipline, a flair for the flare, that will be observed at Kllerslie in dressy coats as well as in a multitude of daintv frocks. The coat and frock-skirt match, while the bodice may be two or three shades lighter. A widened coatsleeve appears in nearly all of these ensembles of the more dressy gown. Tlio hat and shoes must be carefully selected with this costume, and may match, either the light or the dark shades, but both should be the same in colour. = m - Printa are as certain a thing of chic for summer wear as the answer to a mathematical problem, and this dress of patterned crepe shows several smart new features, including the flat-tucked hipline and softly flaring jabot and skirt panel.
