Edward W Pickard notes President Coolidge reports for the 1927 and 1928 fiscal years show unexpected surpluses and a reduced public debt, yet warns against reliance on tax cuts. He details proposed payroll savings, the stalled McNary price plan, and caution about business activity affecting future outcomes.
The mode favors paillettes in gold or silver on evening tunics and accessories, with femmes embracing delicate beads and garlands. Flowers in gauze, velvet, and taffeta hues pair with grosgrain hats and coordinated ribbons. Ostrich feathers emerge as key evening wrap trimmings, feminine accents combating masculine tones.
Undergarments in voile with lace trims and piping are touted as cooler and elegant for summer wear. Light shades and black trimmed in black lace lead the fashion, with dyed lace matching voile as a popular detail. Even flowered voile styles appear for undergarments.
Skirts are shorter than ever on the Riviera and hats are plain almost to severity. Court and one-bar shops are popular in light-colored kids, blond, parchment and white. A striking shoe appears in all-in-gold kid edged with green. The vampl a is painted in bright modernistic colors with a conventional design.
The description outlines plaid coats for Miss Forne with cape attachments. Capes may be finished in vivid red or green to match the plaid, extend to the wrist, and dip slightly at the rear for a coordinated look.
The season highlights batik as a key fashion element in two forms. A crepe silk blouse features batik colorings from collar to sleeve backs forming a yoke, paired with long snug sleeves for tailored flair. Another approach uses vivid batik blocks applied to a large straw hat crown, edged in velvet for a soft frame.
Fashion notes praise a rare suit type worn by stylish women, featuring a coat length reaching the skirt hem and a shawl collar of fur. The ensemble, often seen on transatlantic liners, uses novelty tapestry fabrics in soft tones to contrast with the trim silhouette and fur details.
The article promotes printed georgette handkerchiefs worn as boutonnieres replacing flowers. It notes magnolias and pastel colors, suggests wearing a hanky as a decorative flower on the sleeve, and calls it a fashionable “Tatent Idea” in current trends. Mingled examples mention wearing them on a clipper and as a buckle for photo-finish style.
Polka dot scarfs and sashes accessorize plain sports frocks. A blue flannel dress features a large white polka dot scarf tied low at the V neck, with a dotted belt extending about the hips. Another navy frock uses a polka dot scarf attached to one shoulder and draping down the side in a rabot effect ending at the hem.
Hats no longer just accessories. they become part of the costume. Leading dressmakers join with milliners to create harmonizing hat ateliers, helping customers match any outfit with coordinated headpieces.
