The article surveys midsummer party wear highlighting organdie gowns in shadow print, dimities, and gandies. It notes full and slim silhouettes, hand tucked details, self fabric covered buttons, and dainty blouses to pair with jackets and skirts. The piece promotes affordable, feminine lingerie fabrics and emphasizes new fall tailoring with frilly blouses and lace edging.
Designers cut fullness from sleeves while draping blouses and lowering waists. Advance autumn styles show straight tight sleeves with no shoulder pleats and drapery only at the forearm. Sleek satins highlight slender skirts in black and vivid blues and purples.
The article notes embroidery remains important with gold on black and fanciful effects on silk frocks. Dressmakers favor appliqued felt motifs on black silk crepe day dresses with shirring, tucking, scalloped hemlines, and dark silk crepes.
Black lace trim dominates summer lingerie offerings. It contrasts with pastel shades such as blues greens and yellows and is sometimes paired with all black.
