Includes an introduction, a chart to help women (or clothing makers) decide what they should wear for each occasion and for different parts of the day, a "color forecast" for the season, and then samples of the fabrics produced by the company with drawings of how the fabric could be used. The final pages show the color variety for the various fabric types.
