Novelty Materials and Why They Are Costly

A reader muses on how modern fabrics differ from enduring heirloom silks once handed down in families. The piece contrasts durable traditional textiles with contemporary materials and explains factors driving higher costs.

Buying Shoes That Fit The right fit through careful on foot testing

A shoe expert argues most women lack knowledge of a true fit and rely on salesmen. It explains practical steps to test a shoe: bend of the great toe, width for toe spread, instep snugness, heel fit, and lacing alignment, with advice to walk and feel the shoe rather than judge from appearance.

Standards versus novelty cloths in fashion history

The text contrasts staple, dependable cloths with evolving novelty fabrics. Standards like serge and broadcloth offer predictable quality and price, while novelty materials entail higher costs from new designs, equipment, materials, and marketing risks, without guaranteeing better value.

New Spring Frock Lines Preview Violet Poplin Styles

The collection continues next spring with simple but attractive violet poplin frocks. Features include square necklines, long tight sleeves, and a long wide fringe edged in the same color from left shoulder to right hem.
