Notes on current women’s wear describe bold red motifs in dress and accessories for afternoon and evening wear. Fashions emphasize bare arms, light fabrics, and dramatic color, with hats, gloves, and millinery reflecting London society’s summer style.
The article notes dainty garden party toilets with shirred hats and parasols trimmed in Venetian lace. Crepe compositions include wool and silk blends, with gowns for calling and afternoon wear. Veils are fashionably deep and nets or grenadine fabrics feature narrow lower borders.
Early spring styles show Neapolitan straw hats with yellow rose sprays, light unlined gowns in hop sack and crepe lisse, and diaphanous tulles. New serpentine flounces sculpt skirts, while airy wrappers and casino toilet gowns emphasize pale tea shell hues. Victoria bouquet proves a popular floral accessory as color contrasts dress rinks.
