The article contrasts simple conventional wedding gowns with daring modern designs. It describes long sleeves high necklines satin velvet and sheer fabrics with lace veils and bouquets. It notes two example brides: one in a simple square-necked gown with a wired veil and orange blossom accents, the other in a satin gown with a tunic of chiffon long train and a bonnet adorned with orange blossoms.
The article argues color choice should suit the wearer’s type and features rather than age or trends. It notes modern fashions favor matching colors to eyes or hair, with a French couturiere’s rule to match eyes in evening shades and hair in daytime.
The article outlines current fashion notes focusing on decollete gowns disappearing, twisted metal lace tunics over satin slips, tailored and fairy ruffes blouses, and Paris favored long narrow cuffs. It notes velvet embroidery replacing other embroidery, dyeing details, and a spring revival of pencil-striped materials with green and red dominating, plus a plaited organdie neck ribbon.
A plain navy blue ankle dress features an unusual two and a half inch girdle of wide grosgrain ribbon with picot edge, bordered by gold and silver ribbon. Velvet leaves and flowers decorate the belt, worn below the waist and tied once with ends hanging.
A historical note on evolving pajama names and fabrics. Slumber suits replace pajamas while hidden wear gains with crepe de chine and silk blends. Crepe materials, light colors, and delicate trims rise in demand as women seek quality and refinement in night attire.
