Straight Outline Favored in Paris Fashion
Paris fashion notes show a trend toward the straight or tube outline favored by Poiret with gowns cut long at the waist and open on one side to reveal a plaited underdress. Designers Doucet Patou and others present variations with plaited skirts, summer coats, and shawl-like scarves, while Batik scarfs and stumpy parasols gain popularity among Paris society and performers.
