A fragmentary fashion note discusses dress lengths and undergarment issues for Petticoats and long gowns. It mentions black felt hats, modern skirt lengths, and space constraints in wardrobes, suggesting a carpenter solution to create lighter, swingier frocks and a locked base-drawer system to improve fit and display.
A fragmentary fashion notice describes whimsical garments and fabrics including furs like monkey fur waistcoats, brushed ora in dark browns greens and blues, odd coats, white and black pieces, and a wild first-bins style. It notes plastic books shaped like moccasins and a disappearing short evening wrap with wide sleeves and full cut.
Instructions describe placing hooks on the left wall of a wardrobe cupboard to hold skirts by looping waistbands at the side seam. Hooks should sit 16 inches apart and about 49 inches high, with loops and safety pins as alternatives if hooks are not long enough.
Instructions for a 34 inch bust knitted sweater with white and contrasting color yarns. Includes materials, needle sizes, tension, cast ons, shaping for front back and sleeves, armhole and neck shaping, edging, and notes for a matching scarf and collar. Contains many measurements and crochet steps as written.
A versatile gown described for semi formal and formal wear with a high back, a detachable slit to the waist, and a deep pointed decolletage when opened. Crepe satin and metallic fabrics are recommended with reversible trims and lined reverses for varied evening looks.
A London Gress parade showcased a dress made of horsehair said to contain 105 yards of the material. Other notable creations included an artificial glass jumper, a silver plated gown, and a sea shell encrusted evening dress. The horsehair design featured a Spanish style with fringe hem and a horsehair headdress. The sea shell frock stood out in panne violet, deviating from black or white palettes.
The era features vivid colors and innovative fabrics such as artificial glass made from resin, costing dressmakers £3 10s per yard. A black shiny tunic pairs with a tweed skirt and short coat, while silver-plated evening skirts contrast with black velvet. Hats showcase a range from shovel brims to stand away fringes, with feminine bats remaining popular and Valenciennes lace common on handkerchiefs after supper.
