AN ALL-GLASS GOWN
An evening gown made entirely of glass was shown in London lately. It 'was worn by Gloria, one of London’s loveliest mannequins, at Self ridge’s. ’Sba looked as if she was clothed in. shimmering silver tissue decked with 'pin-point diamonds. But unlike tissue, the fabric was transparent—crystal clear, in fact. It was made from thousands of short hair-like threads of spun glass pressed together in throe layers, not woven. ! The material .is supple and falls in easy folds. Tho model shown, simplo in style, 'occupied three seamstresses for a day, £such a frock will appeal to the woman who lives to create a sensation, ‘but glass fabric is hardly a practical proposition for normal wear.
