Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 174, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 July 1912 — New Material. [ARTICLE]

New Material.

One of the prettiest materials of the moment is soft crepe voile, patterned with Turkish toweling. The latter fabric has not, on the whole, much to recommend it as a summer choice, the coarseness of the ruffled surface giving a woolly effect, which makes it hardly ideal for the hottest summer weather. In a combination, however, of porcelain blue and white, the two fabrics look delightfully cool, the toweling forming a border to the hem of the skirt and the wide cuffs of the bodice, while above the hem, on the plain surface of the crepe, occurs a row of raised china blue roses in toweling.
