cloth in matching color, the under
sleeves are made of lace, and the
trimming is banding. The puffs of
the sleeves can be of the same mate
rial If preferred, however, and for the
collar and the under-sleeves any con-
trasting material is appropriate. If
plain sleeves are preferred they can
be substituted, as shown in the back
view. The blouse is equally well
adapted to the odd waist and to the
entire gown, and it consequently can
be utilized for variety of materials.
The blouse is made over a fitted
lining. and itself consists of fronts
and back. the fronts are tucked to
yoke depth only, but the backs from
shoulders to waist line. The fancy
sleeves are made over plain founda-
tions, and these are faced to form the
cuff or under-sleeves. The lining is
closed at the centre front, the blouse,
invisibly beneath the edge of the
right front. When the lining is
omitted. the cuffs, or under-sleeves,
are joined to the sleeves beneath the
trimming.
