A survey of spring garments highlights long skirts, sport suits, and versatile wraps. Straw turbans and mushroom brims, dyed capes in henna and coral, and lightweight crepe capes promise style through April and May. Emphasis on waistcoats, scalloped coat fronts, and tailored suits with adaptable fronts for festive flair.
Modern skirted hats made at home with a hat-brim and a yard of silk become easier as ready-made foundations and crow n shaping ideas from millinery houses filter into domestic craft. Readers are shown three model hats and steps to reblock, clean, or construct new crowns and brims, using found hats, buckram, straw braid, and satin facing to achieve draped silk crowns and varied brim shapes.
French mascots Ninnette and Rintintin cavort over sunshade covers in bright silk panels. The dancing boy and girl appear in bold colors, sometimes embroidered, printed, or stenciled, reflecting playful summer sport costume themes.
