Fashion turns vertical in 1909, with The Delineator describing these dresses as being on "popular long lines". They certainly use every trick in the trade to make the wearers look as tall and as slender as possible. Only the hats add a horizontal note to their ensembles, perching on the tops of their heads like large mushrooms.
... A very pretty design for a princess dress is shown here (3107) which is especially well adapted to development in the softer materials, as foulard, net, and in lawn or batiste... As hand embroidery is to appear on the most stylish garments this Summer, the woman would do well to add a touch of embroidery to this dress between the tucks and in the sleeves.
A design for a semi-princess dress is shown here (3056) which has the popular panel front and back... This design is equally suitable for a wash dress for Summer wear and for the elaborate silk gown every woman wants to have in her wardrobe.
