Bits About Blouses.

It is fashion’s decree .that fussy blouses have had their day —for a time at least —and so we must give our attention to much simpler designs. They are extremely smart and very becoming to most women. This season we have a number of new blouse materials, most important among which are the pussy willow silks aifd a lovely new chiffon crepe, known as georgette, crepe. Unlike chiffon, the georgette crepe needs no net foundation, for, while it is quite thin, it is more opaque and washes beautifully. The pussy willow silks come in a heavier quality than crepe de chine, and are a sort of cross between that and messaline, with a fine subdued luster to them. Either of the two fabrics just mentioned will work up nicely in a blouse in white, palest pink or yellow, mauve, navy, pea green or rust color. These are the smartest blouse colorings just now.
