Fashions and Fancies in Evening Gowns This Season
A fashion feature outlines how smart evening gowns must be year round for today’s stylish woman. It notes that universal appeal varies with figure, color, and draping, with black gowns fading in popularity unless richly trimmed. The piece highlights circular or bertha-topped cuts, kimono-like surplice folds, lace and embroidery trends, and the rising use of silver and gold laces, embroidered nets, and tunics to transform gowns, including examples in satin and voile de soie with pale pink chiffon linings and rose pink hues.
