THE MODE IN UNDERWEAR
LOVELY GARMENTS. With the return of more shapely clothing, fitting the body snugly, we were threatened with a return of the old whale-boned corset that would lace us to within an inch of our lives, but corset manufacturers are wiser these days and have overcome that problem by evolving a comfortable and even more efficient foundation garment. We were also promised a return of the frivolous, senseless little lace camisole; but that also was a false alarm. Underwear has never been so lovely. It is tailored, splendidly fitted; yet essentially feminine. The popularity of the long-neglected fanciful iblouse suggested camisoles again, but instead lovely little silk skirts were made, with brassiere tops supplying the .delicate touch required for a transparent blouse. Unless a frock is very transparent, such a dual outfit makes a petticoat unnecessary, although the most perfect tailored slips are available when a dress demands them.
Nightdresses have never been so delightful as at present. They follow the evening gown fashion of having a jacket to match. A further concession to the mode of the moment is the bolero.
