Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from English Review It is astonishing to notice what an enormous difference the last World of weeks have made in the world of fashion. Women who for the past six months or more have ignored everything in the way of new clothes, are now awakening to the fact that so drastic and so revolutionary are the changes demonstrated in the new Spring models that they cannot be lightly overlooked. What is even a more serious matter for those who fain would study economy, every kind of garment seems to have been affected by the craze for complete change. Not only are skirts fuller and coats shorter, but indoor and evening toilettes are fashioned after the fussy and much-trimmed Victorian models; while millinery has likewise been affected by the return of the modes of the early seventies, which stand in such high favour just now. One of the sensations of the moment is the return to favour of the Millinery pork-pie model, a type of hat that is enjoying a great popularity and proves very becoming with the new close-fitting coiffure. Other quaint and small-fitting hats of long ago have also reappeared in the most delightful guise, modernised and brought up to date to meet the special requirements of the moment. Perhaps the most pleasing thing about the new millinery is that it possesses the great charm of being simple as well as smart, for now that the supply of Parisian models is limited, a great many English designers are coming to the fore, creating new models that are specially designed to suit the English type. Indeed several of the big shops are employing special artist designers to create exclusive and original models. This is particularly noticeable at Messrs. Marshall & Snelgrove´s, in whose showrooms quite the most beautiful and up-to-date hats in London are now to be seen. Not only is a special study made of shapes that are particularly suited to Englishwomen, but a great deal of attention is being paid to the blending of colours. The designer attached to this firm makes frequent visits to Paris to buy new models and to keep abreast of the latest fashions. It is here that one sees the first example of the new millinery sets which are the fad of the fashionable world to-day. These consist of a becoming hat, wide of brim and flat of crown,, made of layers of a lovely shade of mole-coloured tulle trimmed with a flat bow of ribbon velvet of the same colour, and a knot of palest pastel-pink velvet flowers placed at one side. To wear with it is one of the new ruches made of long bands of the same ribbon velvet, from which depends a very light and rather full frill of the same coloured tulle, that droops towards the shoulder line. The velvet band is worn tightly round the neck, caught at one side with a pale pink flower corresponding with the one that trims the hat. The effect is very picturesque and smart, and the new sets will be very generally worn this Spring. Already they are in high favour for bridesmaids v.-ear, as they are very dressy looking, but it is essential that the original design is carried out exactly, as the brim of the hat should be of a size that exactly balances the broad shoulder frill, which Is one of the most becoming novelties that has made its appearance for some time past.
