A fashion note describes new underwear fabrics praised as pretty durable and affordable. The description mentions a curved neckline with a long flowing shoulder line, a plain batiste yoke, tiny folds, and bell sleeves finished with blue liberty ribbon. The piece notes a trend of women wearing socks and husbands urging trousers.
The piece argues that hose reaching the knee or just below is practical and comfortable, while long hose are impractical and costly. It notes that knee length, covered by garters, offers cooler wear in summer and even cooler in winter, despite the appeal of youthful lace and pin tucks.
