One of the strongest indications that
the semi-classic fashions borrowed from
directoire and empire times are yielding
to the modes of the Victorian era is the
revival of taffeta, the silk that for the
past decade has been despised, but has
now risen practically overnight to the
pinnacle Of fashionable approval
In early Victorian days taffeta was the
material de luxe. Ones very best frock,
ones costume de ceremonie, ones Sun
day-go-to-meeting gown" was of taffeta,
and with the revival of this silk come
also the quaint quillings and plaitings,
the pipings and shrred cordings. the net
frills and fuckers, the fringes and tas-
sells. the tiny rosebuds and velvet bows,
the gaiter boots and many other sar-
torial accessories of the Victorian period.
The fashions favored by the young
Queen Victoria We're very feminine, but
they were far more prim than styles had
been since the days of good Queen Char
lotte, who forbade her ladies adopting the
