Vari-Length Skirts and Luxe Fashions Sweep Paris
Fashions feature grey astrakhan bonsets and coral crepe drapery with Pierre Balmain presenting an embroidered white lace evening gown. Rose faille highlights the bodice, while hats glitter with diamonds and pink feathers. Skirts vary from 12 to 15 inches, and the waist stays slim with a flat stomach. Designers favor drapery, side panels, and gimmicks like godets and hobble hems. Coats grow bulky with wide silhouettes and rich furs. Evening wear remains luxurious, skirts billow or stay pencil slim, and street velvet surfaces in the season. Black dominates, grays lead daytime, with gold, purple, and jewel tones completing the palette.
