Show Blouses Gain Style Favor Blouses are more important and varied than they have been in 10 years. Both Paris and America have launched a number of delectable designs and the result is a blouse for every occasion. The reason is the popularity of the tailored auit Something White for V. 8. The American blouse favorite Is white, sheer and a bit frilly. Organdies, Or-gandies, plain or shadow printed, and aheer, washable, rayon or silk crepes are used. They are finished with a touch to give them feminine softness. A jabot edged with Valen-ciennea Valen-ciennea lace, a double ruffle cascad- ing down the front or one edging a round neckline do the trick. There also are designs of sheer dark fabric such as navy blue organdy or-gandy apattered with white dots. Most necklines hover at the collar bones. Virtually all sleeves are short. Sport blouses are as smart as fabric and designers can make them. Paris' favorite ia a aleek shirtwaist of polka-dotted surah ailk brown on yellow for instance. New York ia making them of soft necktie silk or colored linen on the same trimly collared lines. Some of the casual crash and linen shirts have trimly finished tails, so that they can be worn (belted) outside the skirt if desired. Cape-Sleeve Blouses Waistcoat blouses and double-breasted double-breasted jacket-blouses of tie silk and linen worn with bright Ascot scarfs ar good for both country and town. Ready to dress up and go places are designs of colorful satin, net and voile. A few smart women are wearing cape-sleeved blouses of sheer black marquisette with their dinner suits. , |
