New Spring Skirt Fashions Emphasize Bright Ribbons

Fashion notes show ribonnette skirts made entirely of ribbons in bold colors and wide belts, plus a trend toward closer fits and barrel skirts with elastic bottoms. Leather scarcity drives no leather shoes and substitute materials in canvas, rubber, satin, and cloth, while gloves move to silk for summer wear. A Hawaii inspired hat, the Hawaiian Novelty, features coarse straw, a wide brim, and bright trims.

Walking dresses gain graceful fullness in new styles

The article describes Spring and Summer walking dresses with long lines and full folds. It highlights a morning dress in dark blue serge with a wide sash, black front buttons, straw brimmed hat, and suede slippers with champagne stockings. Fashion notes praise dainty trim and feminine walking attire from Faun colored suede to yellow embroidered collars and military influenced silhouettes softened by wide sleeves.
