The article surveys sleeve fashion with emphasis on vaseline care for elbows and explains how sleeves transform frocks. It highlights the shift to long, varied sleeves, including capes and draperies, with examples in Canton crepe and Georgette, and mentions designers Worth and Renee shaping trends.
The article urges strict attention to elbows as part of overall appearance. It advocates cleansing with a flesh brush and soap, pumice for discoloration, lemon juice if persists, hot cloth, cold cream, and powder. It mentions hazel tincture for enlarged pores and cocoa butter to sculpt and firm the arm with specific exercise.
The piece notes ribbons expand beyond decoration to trims for frocks and girdles. Designers create diverse ribbons from velvet brocade to silver lame, forming roses and loops with beads, feathers, and embroidery for day and evening wear, echoing antique needlework bags.
The excerpt highlights ribbons as key accents in late fashion, detailing roses and bows on shoulder straps and sleeves, bejeweled lace rosettes, bejeweled garters and trousseau waistpieces, and elaborate pintucked undergarments. It notes silverlast ribbons, decorative side elastics, and petticoats with wide ribbon streamers as fashionable trimming and adornment choices.
Fashion notes describe a shift to lighter boning and elastic structures in corsets, replacing steel and buckram. New designs emphasize back curves, waist shaping with tapered lines, and compatibility with draped dresses, while bras remain dainty and coordinated with lingerie.
