Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 165, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 13 July 1910 — Embroidered Pongee. [ARTICLE]

Embroidered Pongee.

Pongee frocks are now ready for the last touch, which is given by the embroiderer. Handwork put upon this excellent, surface is never wasted, and the tone of the pongee is the exact background for the dull leaf green and old rose of the conventional running vine of the Tudor rose design. This is used successfully on the side opening of a plain Russian blouse house frock, and its sections are repeated in short strips at intervals on the tunic’s side opening. The work is flat in effect, suggesting very little padding.
