The article traces corset history from early American pilgrims weaving gray fabric with hand sewn whalebone to current fashion moving toward lighter boning or no corset. It notes French influence, a shift to straight lines, and renewed desire for light support among women in both France and America.
The article notes mislabeling of garments as belts and confirms no change in corset lines. It reports no waistline reduction and potential waist expansion, describes a French trend with a very low, short, lightly boned model, and mentions backs cut away for evening wear. Sales of corsets have risen about 50 percent as French women return to corsetry.
The season showcases a wide palette for hats to pair with smart spring outfits. Designers highlight queer browns blues yellows reds and greens with luster sport satins seen at New York shows and in shop windows featuring dent de lion and dent demon yellow as top choices.
Lace plays an important role in spring and summer evening wear with dresses in black white and colored tones. One tone effects dominate among better houses though touches of color are used. Ornamental girdles can be bought or homemade with large wooden buttons and braided ends. Yellow remains popular with dandelion shades and green leaves in girdles.
A fragmented note describes sleeve styles with almost all long and plain shapes and some short sleeves. It notes collars that button under the chin and comments on overall fashion favoring certain materials this season.
