McCall's Magazine July 1919 - Fashions For August

"Midsummer Offerings For Shore or Country:

BRILLIANT colors and pastel shades- plain materials and fabrics of daring kaleidoscopic design-trimmings of pretentious beads and simple Georgette rufflings-- a myriad of innovations are at the command of milady to qualify for her every mood during the warm days of summer.

Sleeves are rather a minus quantity this summer and hardly warrant a discussion. Designers have heartlessly cut and cut, but always in a most artistic manner and the ab­breviated result is the attractive "wing sleeve" effect which is not unlike the well-known butterfly sleeve.

A tendency toward the fitted waistline is noted in the latest modes. This may be attributed to the presentation of a new silhouette known as the Camargo silhouette whose acquaintance is being sought by the most exclusive designers."
