The Dress Model and Spring Millinery Trends
Flaring wing effects remain dominant in spring and summer millinery. Argentine gray resembles moonlight and last season’s opal grays. Thin muslin gowns fit below the waist with ease. Fine hand embroidered collars replace high linen ones on waists of taffeta china silk and similar fabrics. An English skirt now brushes the ground at back and appears fuller around the upper portion. French cashmere and light French flannel in powder pink complete the attire.
