New Autumn Fashions Highlight Velvet Amaranth and Crackle Trim
Uncut velvet trims Ladies wraps and travel garments feature amaranth red with purple tones. Silk neckpieces use Persian colors with palm leaf motifs. New fringed sacques, double and single capes, and natural plumage trims appear in winter bonnets. Changeable shot silks gain favor while crackle velvet falls out of favor for trims. Point d esprit lace rivals Breton in style with fine hand or machine weaving. Autumn prints show dark colors on gray French calico grounds.
