Ascot is proverbially Fashion’s Field Day,

and this year the brilliant colours and artistic effect of the dress displayed

at the great Society carnival were even more dazzling than usual.

Our illustrations shows some of the notable toilettes worn at the meeting.

Lace, which is now enjoying a great vogue after its long exile

from the circle of la Mode’s favourites,

was the medium in which many lovely models were expressed.

White lace, black lace, and black lace over white satin were seen,

and the popular material also appeared in the shape of cloaks,

and formed the foundation of some of the most successful hats;

while the Spanish shawl was also on duty

as a wrap in some instances.

Panniered and befrilled frocks contended for favour against straight, slim models,

and there were an equal number of each to be seen.

Lingerie dresses were also popular,

and it was noticeable that some of the best-turned-out women

wore very low-cut dresses;

while others had frocks with a high-collared,

almost muffling effect.

Hats were, for the most part, large and diaphanous,

but the small, “impertinent” model not entirely left out;

and the Chinese pagoda parasol was in evidence,

as well as the ordinary variety, often hand-painted.

Black and white, all black, and all white colour-schemes were popular;

but rose-pink, blue, yellow, and many other shades

were also to be seen among the exquisitely dressed spectators of the racing.

Our illustration gives a good idea of varieties in Fashion’s styles,

and also shows the exciting finish of the race for the Gold Cup,

which was awarded to Tangiers, Sir William Nelson’s horse,

which came in second to Lord Astor’s Buchan,

the latter being disqualified for crossing Tangiers.
