War Shortens
French Dresses
Paris, Sept. 27. (By niuil) War
restrictions invariably arouse protests,
but tho one limiting woolen material
for women's dresses to four and a half
metres (about five yards) has been
accepted without a murmur even with
alacrity. This measure was readily ac
cepted by the dressmakers' syndicate
when the government pointed out its
advisibility. .
The tendency of fashions had neon
towards ever ampler proportions of
skirts. Since the war skirts under
went a shortening process. The ques
tion was whether the fashion of ample
skirts should continue and the quality
of the material deteriorate, or whether
a radical change of style be introduced.
The dressmakers' syndicate preferred
the latter alternative, explaining to
their clients that it is essential for the
prestige of French fashion that no con
cession be mado to the quality of ma
terial for tailormade clothes in order
to preserve the impeccable line which
is so essential.
One of tho chief considerations, so
the leading Paris tailors declare, is
American custom, which would fall off
if it were found that Paris clothes were
of inferior material.
The restriction only applies to ma
terials containing wool , so that for
evening powns and indoor dresses, of
non-woolen material, those who prefer
flowing lines and full skirts will be
able to indulge their fancy as before.
As striking contrast to the severe
and simple tailor-made, which will pre
vail in outdoor places, will be the ex
etic toilettes which several of the big
firms are about to launch for evening
wear, some of which are direct copies
of Chinese models.
