A London patchwork tournament organized by the Patchwork Club drew two hundred fifty participants with couples knitting patches from muslin squares. Separate fashion notes discuss white voile gowns and new fabrics like crepe and charmeuse, detailing headwear, accessories, and tailoring trends for midsummer wear.
Ingerie blouses for summer shift from cottons to maire silks and crepe de Chine. Designs favor long, gathered yokes with belts at the waist and blousing fabric over the belt. Sleeves feature wide armholes and bishop fullness ending in cuffs. Edges use picot finishing and machine-stitched cords. Patchwork designs include floral foliage and figure motifs for visual impact.
The piece notes a new covert coating in silks expanding in coats and skirts, with neutral tones dominating yet bold brocades entering day wear. It highlights two layer collar and cuff variations, delicate blouses, and lingerie friendly underlayers, predicting strong demand as La Mode approves.
A lively survey of early 20th century fashion trends. Tailor gloves and derby styles reappear, knitted coats and floral accessories flourish, tan shoes and Dresden pottery items gain favor. Indoor dresses evolve with tulle and satin contrasts, wide ribbon sashes, and bold Oriental tones in new summer silhouettes.
Summer millinery favors medium and large hats though small shapes remain popular. Designers create new sizes with varied decorations such as banners, ribbons, flowers, and feathers. Leghorn hats and wide bands feature bold color and creative trims for a fashionable look this season.
The article describes new ruffle styles with collar effects or non meeting fronts, lace rows, upright lines, and chic, tightly styled hair with small hats. It highlights short ostrich ruffles paired with large satin bows, bow-ruffs at the shoulder, and tasselled ends in front, plus jabots and quilled rabats in tulle even with cloth suits.
