New Woman Aims and Fashion Notes From The Era
A column discusses the New Woman, skirts trailing ground, and social attitudes toward female attire. It notes fashion shifts toward simple, elegant skirts, ornate upper garments, and revived bonnet styles, with commentary on women’s roles in industry and war service plus a survey of spring fashions and millinery trends.
Cotton Dresses With Short Coats and Lace Collars
The piece describes fashion for summer dresses with short sack coats and large lace or embroidery collars. It advises on fabric choices from silky surfaces to hard linen, notes sleeve lengths and coat fits, and highlights green linen as a striking option without near the face.
Dainty Accessories For Summer Parasol Fashion
The new parasols feature heavy lace trims in white glace or satin with black lace lines and vandyked laces in waved designs. Dresden handles, enameled sticks, and lace lace coverings with chiffon frills appear on elegant sunshades. Shoes show moderate heels and pointed toes with three straps and a jet buckle, while gloves in white lavender primrose cane and biscuit tones trend. Flowers and bright toques with foliage or blossoms, especially roses like Banksia varieties, adorn summer wear.

Fashionable Dress Accessories and the Cost of Style
Judic Chollet argues that waistbands and corsets give way to soft uncompressed silhouettes as fashion shifts away from boned stiffeners.

The piece praises picture hats with ostrich plumes, notes spring’s influence on flowers over feathers, and surveys sleeve alterations from full to flat tops. It highlights gowns with delicate embroideries, Russian blouses, and color trends like pale green and mauve, plus mixed snowflake tweeds for morning wear.
