Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 185, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 August 1917 — Nainsook Union Sult. [ARTICLE]

Nainsook Union Sult.

The fact that women are going in so strong for athletics has brought about an interesting thing in underwear for the feminine sex. The strenuous exercise is hard on fine underwear, and, therefore, there is being made an athletic union suit of nainsook. This is fashioned much on the same order as the men’s. Striped muslins, dotted nainsooks in both white and pink are also favored materials for this new garment. A narrow edging of cluny or Valenciennes trims the top. At the' waistline at the back there is an insert, of knitted material to give plenty of' reaching room. The suit buttons down t;he entire front and extends beyond the knees.
