WHATEVER you do, remember that
the newest designs are not bal
anced ! The one-sided effects are
the decided notes in the efforts of great
modistes. The message is hopeful, for it
carries to our own little "ateliers" the pos
sibility of remnants.
A glance over 'this page will impress
upon you the idea. Look at the draped
chiffon gown in black and white. The
white underdress is covered with black,
and the aim has been to depart from the
bisymmetrical. One sleeve is of black, with
jet outlining the armhole; the other is of
pearl fringe and is hardly a sleeve at all.
A white satin girdle is tied in a bow at one
side, while beaded white net forms the rest
of the draped bodice.
Another suggestion is used on the blue
satin gown with the tunic on one side. A
draped satin front is used with ecru lace.
One sleeve is of lace and one of satin, and
there is a lace butterfly on one shoulder.
The tunic is of satin and is long at one side,
gradually disappearing at the other.
You have noticed the single rever? On
the linen dress it is exploited as a "one
sided' feature. White linen is embroid
ered in delft-blue coinspots. The kimono
sleeves are short, the bodice is collarless.
and a hem of plain blue linen is used on the
skirt. A blue linen rever sweeps across the
front in easy lines.

Contrast is seen on the bodice of the
next dress. Here there are two .broad
revers that form the front of the bodice.
One is of blue-and-whjte striped silk edged
with a pleating of white silk. The other
rever is of heavy lace bound with the
.striped silk. A sash is a continuation of
the straight rever, caught under a buckle
and dropping at one side. This style is
good for a linen or voile dress for any-aged
wearer.
Look at the sti t frdck. It is of light
weight henrjetta and is trimmed with Irish
lace and satin in a darker shade. There is
no idea of matching the right side with the
left. A wide piece is inserted on one rever,
and just a suggestion of lace is shown on
the other side. A tab crosses over and ie
trimmed with buttons of silk. On the skirt
there is a line of buttons at one side and a
panel is used only at the left. Surely, this
is a departure from the rigid rule.
The sash is one of the important fea
tures of the season's trimmings. On the
foulard silk dress it is shown at one side,
dropping at the left of the hanging panel of
silk. If you prefer, you may tie the sash
at the front, either on the right or left side.
We are recognizing more and more the
rule that there is no rule in- dress design
ing. The one-sided effects are emphasizing
the truth. But that doesn't mean that we
are in the least unbalanced !
