The article notes a shift to revolutionary spring styles emphasizing slim lines and versatile, lighter spring outfits. Black and white remain staples with bold contrasts, while navy blue and beige offer alternatives. New materials and modest waists redefine shapes, favoring narrow waists and softened silhouettes for spring wardrobes.
The article surveys early 20th century fashion with a white frock in lace and insertion, a blue ribbon girdle, and plumous embroidery on voile. It highlights a gray black and white printed chiffon gown with two-tone drapery, novel hats with leghorn and roses, and a morning or afternoon dress in dark blue foulard with white satin trim. It notes bustle modifications, Chinese and Japanese inspired lines, large floral prints, open necklines, and the popularity of waistcoats.
