The very pronounced vogue for lace and embroidered net is emphasized in this charming costume. Satin ribbon in a soft pastel shade is used for the twisted double girdle caught at the side with a bow of the ribbon tied with long ends and short loops. The cloche continues to hold an all important place in the line-up of fashionable millinery. Early bulletins recorded an effort on the part of milliners to place the cloche in the discard, due to the fact that its reign had been so long and so all-pervading, but it seems to have successfully defeated this effort. Turbans, toques, and tricornes are also prominent in the lineup of Spring headgear. Many hats with oddly shaped brims are noted. The hat that droops becomingly over the face is to be found in the procession, and the Russian influence on dress is expressed through the medium of smart hats having brims that lie flat against the crown. Narrow backed brims continue to be approved, and small or medium large is the general trend in the matter of size. |
