...bouffant skirts and, yes, soft petticoats, with tight, wasp waistlines defined by cummerbunds, corselets and cinched belts for day and evening wear (see color pages). The clothes are extravagantly ornamented, with braiding, tasseled cords, floral scarves, satin ribbons, hammered gold jewelry. They are topped with turbans, mink toques, babushkas, knit caps, fezzes and feathers, and bottomed with boots, boots, boots.
