tel.
The influence of foreign dress on
modern American clothes Is easy to
see in many Of the fashions being
featured this season.
Take for example the exact styl.
ing Of many Of the peasant blouses
on sale In Warrington for wear with
peasant-type cotton dirndle skirts.
Included In this category are peasant
inspired blouses from Europe and
South America. 80.
Chinese necklines are featured on
any number of outfits both for play
and street wear. The Indian sari.
usually five or six yards Of beauti.
fully bordered rich fabric wound
around the waist and drawn over
the head, seems to have established
itself as a coming fashion. High
stand-up collars taken from the
Philippine "mestiza" dress have
been incorporated into number OF
American evening styles. OF course,
for years the Grecian draped gown
has found a place in the well-dressed
woman's wardrobe. This year, with
the stress on gold. many costumes
have the Greek influence further
borne out with the Greek motif
around the border executed in gold.
An interesting angle in connec-
ton with foreign fashions is that
many returning servicemen brought
back costume souvenirs from the
countries they visited. From the
Balkans have come brilliantly en-
broidered pure silk blouses in the
peasant styles worn for generations
and generations. From China and
Japan have come robes worn by
many American women as evening
wraps.
There is no limit to the amount Of
fashion fantasy in which the average
American woman may indulge if she
will look to foreign inspired fash.
ions to complement her present
wardrobe. She may use them for
that note Of originality that will
distinguish her wardrobe from 50
many others.
