Fashion Notes From Silk Department Trends
The pastel and soft blues lead silk department sales. Pompadour hair pairs with a small hat worn far back. The princess petticoat becomes a wardrobe essential for fashionable women. A slim figure suits a silk V between surplice fronts. Voile coats slimly silked, no fussy lace trim. Pony coats trend with suspender like bands. French trims in tiny leaf drops fetch high prices. Shell and jet back combs dominate headpieces. Two toned noiles with garniture of silk offer body for afternoon gowns. A plain bow balances a lace or embroidery front bow to hold it.
