Blouse fabrics were never more interestingly varied as in this season, sea-son, when modern textile ingenuity has reached a peak, especially in the matter of rayon weaves that leave nothing to be desired. Side by side, on the blouse hangers, you will find rayon materials including exotic, bold-patterned print jerseys and acetate crepes, trim spun rayon shirtings in linen or challis finish, soft-bodied monotone crepes and an intriguing display of filmy sheers. Prints are creating a sensation in the field of sports blouses, done often in gay South American pat-ternings pat-ternings and colorings. A blouse that stands pre-eminently at the front in the style parade is shown centered in the above illustration. It is the full-blown rose print that everybody is calling for.

Two' chic tailored blouses (to the right above and below in the group) are noteworthy. The model at the top is a real "find." It is a classic in tailored simplicity, with the charm of a material, corded marquisette, mar-quisette, which is to be coveted not only for its prettiness, for joy of joy! it launders to perfection and as easily as a pocket handkerchief. This blouse is skillfully designed with a fitted waistband for either tuck-in or over-blouse wear. Exquisite handwork finishing off all edges in contrast color is a nice trimming accent for the beautiful tailored blouse in snowy acetate Tayon crepe shown just below this blouse in the above illustration. Note the stud-fastened cuffs and becoming be-coming turn-back neck. A giant jabot (jabots are conversation conver-sation pieces this season) is very flattering at the front of the fresh spring blouse shown below to the left in the above picture. It is designed of fine rayon marquisette for smart suit wear. Note the flowers in Her hair. The wearing of flowers in this manner is an approved fashion, even in the daytime if occasion warrants. An effect of fragile feminine charm is achieved by the use of filmy rayon chiffon and fine lace edging for the exquisite lingerie blouse shown above to the left in the illustration. It features the new and extremely smart long bishop sleeves together with a high-low ruffled neckline which may be fastened fas-tened primly under the chin for suit wear or opened low for dress-up moments. A blouse that should be included in every wardrobe for formal wear is the long-torso type of handsome rayon flower print in gorgeous colors. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) |
