Ruffles which run round the neck line, or form yokes in some extreme cases which are placed nearly as low as the waist line also interfere with the straight and narrow effect, as do the full pleated skirts, the pleated flounces, capes and floating overskirts. With these more exuberant frocks are worn the large pictures hat of hair braid or horn straw.
Then there come the draped dresses, a very considerable following, sometimes with the draperies on the side, sometimes pulled to the front, and ever and again cascacsing from shoulders under the arms and down to the final points which almost touch the ground. The side jabot repeated in the draperies of the skirt is a popular touch.
