Fashion Highlights
Rippling Effects PEACH-BEIGE AND OFF-WHITE Fashion interest appears to be turning more and more to the rippling effects achieved by the use of fulllength jabots or of shorter scarf effects which are made wide enough to suggest a capelet when thrown over the shoulder. Beig;e is gaining in popularity as a colour for evening frocks. Moire taffeta is being favoured by American women for afternoon coats and evening wraps. Irregularity of hemline is taken for granted in evening frocks and invades sports wear. One way of achieving the effect is by arranging pleats in a ribbon-like manner, presenting the battlemented hemline. ... Buttercup yellow, under the attractive French name of Bouton d’Or, is cited as a colour destined for outstanding favour this season. It is believed that it will repeat the success of bois de rose, and that it will be much seen in combination with black. Off-white shades are assuming an important place in lingerie fashions, and these shades are the newest for the bridal trousseau. Peacli-biege was the shade which achieved a woollen fabric glimpsed in a spring-like coat worn by one of the smart travellers returning home after a tour of Europe.
