Fashion and wardrobe notes from Melbourne society pages
A lengthy survey covers women’s dress trends with coats, collars, and bustles, plus hats in velvet and fur and corset guidance. It notes jersey garments for children, low bust corsets, new camisoles with waist belts, and long fashion skirts to four inches above the ground. It ends with a health ad and a request for medical consultations from the Ladies College of Health.
