New treatments in decorative buttons appear daily for fall styles. A Venise frock uses a double breasted line of crocheted buttons and many nickel buttons as key trim. Lace eyelets and Alencon lace covered buttons ornament romaine gowns. Two piece dresses feature contrasting overblouse and skirt with novelty woolen blouses and red and black skirts.
Feather Trimmings Highlight Fall Hat Styles
Fall hats feature prominent feather trimmings from elegant Empress Eugenie inspired silhouettes to derby sailor designs. Rembrandt crowns showcase bright contrasting feathers while softer elocie hats bear side feather ornaments and lifted brims. Ostrich tips and bi color combinations in black, red, orange, or green dominate this season's headwear.
