Frills and furbelows on skirts pop out in ruffled peplums and billowy bustles. ¶ Fripperies to complete the rich elegance of "Edwardian and earlier" include cameo brooches, heavy rhinestone trinkets, voluptuous oversize imitation pearls, exotic velvet shoulder flowers for evening and feathers of all kinds- ostrich, bird and barnyard - on boas, capes, muffs and epaulets which are snap-fastened to evening frocks. ¶ Hats concede only their trimmings (fur & feathers) to the Mae West furor...
