Helen Adair's New York Budget Fashion Notes
Portraits of old time beauties guide the season's color and fabric choices. Marie Antoinette inspired silks from Nothing but Silk Strap in Twenty-second Street command attention with delicate grays and pinks while Princess gowns and flounced skirts shape the era. Sleeves evolve to show broader shoulders and longer forms, and dress fit remains crucial to avoid clumsy lines as fashion leans toward artistry and luxury. Superintendent Pingrey reports Senate Bill 27 will soon take full effect, with rural and independent district officers receiving streamlined timelines and circulars to ensure prompt compliance.
