Colour in Jewellery

Chenille embroidery on tulle dresses is one of the great successes, of the year. A white tulle dress covered with chenille embroidery has. recently been made for a very, beautiful Parisienne to wear at Biarritz, The bodice is of satin, plain and almost fitting, with a. round neck, pointed stomacher, no sleeves, and abort the shoulders a little fichu of net embroidered to' match the skirt. The only colour is in the Jewellery. It comprises turquoise earrings, a turquoise necklace and tassel.

For another Parinienne has been made one of the new black sequin dresses which look as if they have. been dipped in water and are still glistening damply. The sequins are 80 closely sewn together that the net on which they are set is not visible. This glistening material fits the figure closely over bust and, hips, and widens at the knees where net or fine lace flounces meet it. A. bunch of red roses is worn on the shoulder.

'A black velvet coat and skirt has jumper of white angora wool finely sewn with white beads. White beads are also used to make collar and caffs on a dress of black velvet.

There is a new material called muilperia, which is a heavy crepe covered with very small beads. It fs used in black for-afternoon a evening dresses and has no trimming but a bunch of coloured flowers.
