Fashion pages depict afternoon gowns featuring bloused waists and draped skirts in charmeuse bengaline and silk crepe. Descriptions cover Medici collars, chiffon overlays, elbow sleeves, belts, and hats with tailored lines. Several color contrasts, exotic embroideries, and cape models are highlighted alongside race day dresses and summer wrap styles.
