The lines of this type of gown are so universally becoming that one sees many
in every dressmaker’s collection. An extreme example of the slim silhouette
is shown in the second figure, a gown also worn at a Paris theatre. The ma
terial is emerald-green velvet banded with crystal bugles. At each side the
skirt is slashed and the corners rounded off to form deep scallops front and
back. The same deep curving line is repeated in the decolletage which is cut
very low at the back. There is very little hit of a waistline, the gown being
practically straight from shoulder to hem. The front of the garment is
similar to the back, here illustrated, and is quite without further ornament.
