A supple wrap meant to warm an elderly lady's shoulders is explained as warding off drafts in a limousine and theater. The gauze or chiffon garment is three yards long with gathered ends and a center back circle, designed to drape over bust and hips while concealing the arms.

Ostrich plumes and white fur bands accent belted velvet crowns, with color harmonies including orange tealage and paprika shades. Styles emphasize delicate feather work, neckpieces in white and black, and warm, dressy comfort.
