Out of Old Fashions by Lady Duff-Gordon
The author argues fashion trends cycle between ancient and near past styles, praising artful gowns from earlier eras while criticizing 1880s austenized silhouettes. She describes current pieces from lace tea gowns to garden party looks, and reviews jewelry trends including cameo wedges and pearl drops with caution on age appropriateness.
