Fashions at the Capital by Margaret Wade
Washington society notes sketch the season's dress code with gowns and accessories at White House events and a Boston wedding. Count von Bernstorff and Madame Ritter appear in court style amid brocade gowns, silk taffeta gowns, silver lace, and matching slippers. Bridesmaids wear color-sash taffeta gowns with triple color belts, while hats shrink to black velvet with plumes as gowns emphasize elegance and modesty.
