What Fashionable Women Are Wearing
Bolero Coat Suit of Black and White Plaid Serge.
Fashion makes strange marriages and friendships happen. Hardly had Bakst with his costumes appeared when the combination of carmine red shared of American Beauty roses and purple color in one outfit emerged.
We have already got used to summer dresses from transparent fabrics trimmed with fur, we have already seen most sophisticated embroidery combined with velvet, and now we enjoy the sight of the Turkish costume with a plaid bolero coat.
One should admit that this is unbelievable but at the same time very beautiful. Plaid has a certain touch of elegance inherent to it.
We all remember that a bolero coat suits a woman with an elegant figure only, this fact adding piquancy and charm to this type of coat.
A bolero coat suit requires minimum decorations. This model is a decoration in itself. The trimming, if any, may be present on the blouse worn under the coat, or on the belt in deep ruffles.
A woman’s dress in the illustration demonstrates the use of black serge with large white check design – one of the most interesting fabrics of this season.
A white satin blouse is decorated with black beads. Large pearly buttons on the coat’s lapels and small pearly buttons on the sleeves complement the suit’s trimming. The way the skirt is designed shows us an unusual way of using plaid fabric.
