As for coats, they are full, and this fullness begins from below the head, so that in its breadth the coat looks like a bird's wing.

Yet for all the standing of fullness, the fitted coat, or redingote, still keeps its established place.

In dresses, there is the pleated fan dress, full and flared, with pinces or tucks at the back, usually of faille or velour. Evening gowns are mostly worked with embroidery or studded with stones. Mousseline keeps its place in evening gowns. And evening gowns have come into vogue with skirts so very full that they require 42 cubits of cloth.

The kings of fashion say that a lady's elegance depends on the dress just as it depends on its accessories — the parasol, the handbag, and the shoes, which are broad and low-heeled so as to give the lady confidence and balance as she walks. Then the gloves, which are white or gray or something near the color of fur.

Fur has kept its place — such as the white fur from which is made the shep-herdess coat for the holi-days, buttoned with large cut buttons whose faceting gives them added sparkle.

This coat is for young ladies rather than married women, and with it is worn a short dress made in three colors: 1 — the bodice of white satin, 2 — the waist

plain gray, 3 — and the rest of smoke gray.

And a particular costume of gabardine has come into vogue, full at the knees and then narrowing at the hem, with a little spencer drawn tight at the waist and very full under the arms.
