Beads


Among women, chiffon was popular - often being used to create a fluid layer for capes, ponchos and wraps, worn over evening dresses and pyjamas.

Bead chokers, handmade out of elastic cord, and knotted to become a tight necklace, started to find favour with younger women. Wide clip-on suspenders, began to find their way to England from the USA.
