These boots are exquisitely cut and

corset belt of pale blue silk.
Some good blouse models of dressy
character made in combination of
crepe and chiffon have the shoulder
and upper part of the bodice OF the
chiffon, while the lower part of the
bodice and sleeves are OF the crepe.
There are some charming blouse
models in taffeta of the soft supple
