FASHIONS AT ASCOT
NEW STYLE IN HATS PRINT DRESSES POPULAR (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Received 18th June, 9.55 a.m.) LONDON, 17th June. The “Sun-Herald” says though the King was not present at Ascot, in every other respect it was royal and the crowds were very smartly dressed. The most striking of the women’s fashions was a hat a foot high shaped like a flower pot, with a curly brim. Others had enormous transparent brims, but bonnets were the hottest favourites, including Flemish and Dutch baby bonnets, worn well back on the head. There was a tremendous vogue for print dresses. Dozens of coloured ducks flaunted themselves on one straight printed dress; another had the owner’s signature scribbled over it; and a third was covered with rural sketches.
