Picture Gowns and Lace Coats Command The Style
Paris fashion notes describe a shift toward the Picturesque with revival gowns, puffed sleeves, and box corsets giving waists a straighter line. Lace coats, tulle and net fabrics, and striking neck bows dominate, while bodices feature two part designs and decorative vests. Embroidery, delicate fabrics, and new trim techniques frame this summer look with bold chiffon neckpieces and exuberant yardage.
