In Paris collections it is apparent that there is a return to elegance in the fashion realm. It appears in endless ways, such as the greater number of Evening gowns, some of them trailing. It is sensed also in the many; sophisticated black afternoon dresses which are adding an Inch to an inch and a half to daytime lengths. Hips are often accented by embroidery pieces. Corduroy is made up horizontally for the most part. The Spanish note is seen in short boleros richly embroidered and worn with the afternoon gowns. There are many jet and passementerie embroideries. Fringe treatments self-frayed from the fabric itself, are employed, especially in plaid woolens. Daytime emphasis is on woolly, often fleecy fabrics, a reaction to prospects of another heatless winter. These wintry fabrics are interesting in that they favor light colors such as gray, pale steel, putty and rose-beige, Small waistlines, rounded hips and drapes, accent on bustlines feminize the new silhouettes. There is considerable velvet and crepe used for afternoon wear, often richly jet embroidered. Dinner gowns are graceful and slim developed in black velvet with front decollete and short sleeves. Handsome failles and rich brocades such as oyster white satins brocaded with large flowers. Milliners turn to historical backgrounds for inspiration such as reflects in the tiny tricornes of the Louis XV period. These are in velvet or felt. Toques consisting for the most part of an enormous rose posed over one eye after the manner of the roses worn in Fragonard paintings. Wide flat shapes are also endorsed, wctrn just showing the hair on the forehead. These are of fabric-draped felt and are in direct contrast to the beautifully draped imposing tall turbans shown, some of which are dramatically, jewel-em* broidered.
