New Blouses Adaptable For All Occasions
Blouses, designed for spring, come ready to dress up a suit and provide a complete costume look even when the jacket is removed.
Luxurious fabrics, like silky broadcloths, lustrous crepes, crisp tie silks and shimmering shantung taffetas, made with such glamorous style details as wide V-cut back necklines, off-shoulder effects, giant puff sleeves, bows and gilts, provide this over-all costume look.
Typical of the blouses for gala occasion wear is one of handkerchief linen with a front panel centered with tiny buttons and an off-shoulder cuff of embroidered organdy. Another blouse, of this type, is fashioned with a scoop neckline and self yoke of silk taffeta in a Roman key pattern.
While basic style blouses come with tucked surplice bodies topped by diminutive collars, tucked bib fronts emblazoned by rhinestone buttons and little high placed sham pockets in all-over stitch designs.
Even classic shirts and basic style blouses have been designed with newly exciting details. Shirts come with tiny tucks, fabric covered novelty trims like pennies, gay multi-color stripes and embroidery touches in confetti hues.
Newest of the suit blouses might be fashioned of silk surah with a deep-V shawl collar neckline accented with a bow, and three-quarter full cut sleeves. Or it might have a button-on ascot scarf and push-up three-quarter sleeves.
Fresh Suds For Colors
To prevent a linty tinge on dark cottonts, use fresh suds for different colors. Never use the wash water in which white clothes have been sused.
Bags are big this spring, no doubt echoing the massive feeling in new season jewelry.
Pumpkin and half-moon shapes appear in faille and patent with piping and handles of faille.
Black plastic patent teather and imported straws are designed for striking costume accents.

New Outfits To Feature Fancy Fabrics
The excitingly designed and textured fabrics that appear in new spring coats, suits and dresses will make them irresistible to own, whether the plan is to sew a new outfit or select one already made.
Two interesting and distinctly different "faces" appear in these fabrics; the icy-smooth crackling feel and taffeta shantung along with the angle-like springy textured wools, both in the smooth-surfaced groups.
For contrast, there are ribbed, subbed and nubby effects. It's a textured look that can be seen in a wide variety of tweed-like, linen-type cottons, sculptured fleeces and wool and rayon boucles.
In some new fabrics, striking effects are achieved by combining the smooth and the textured, as in a light sheer wool with a dark boucle check.
All new spring fabrics have a wonderful lightness of weight, no matter how fluffed the texture This can be seen in a chiffon weight wool coating, woven in a loose weave with a nubby curled wool, a pebble effect without excess bulk and even woolly poodle cloth that appears in a much lighter version this season.
Oversized patterns combined with practicality are the combinations of man-made Orlon with shantung, Dynel with acetate and Viscose and rayon and spun nylon, shot through with gilt metallic yarn.
Spring coats are predicted to be popular in deep textured, nubbed tweeds or other loopy-faced woolens. Suits, on the more formal side, take to baratheas and worsteds, emphasizing grainy surfaces and a crisp present in dress fabrics, as for example, the linen-like silks and dry face. This characteristic is also slubbed worsted.
Enjoyment guaranteed! Ingredients: 15-denier nylon rticot — the fabric you love to wear. Featuring a tucked front with gay, contrasting saddle stitching; two-tone buttons. A dream to wash — and needs no ironing.

Prints go to the neckline, the waist, the hand and the head this spring. Yes, accessories in bright flurries of print spice suits, coats and basic dresses to give the feminine look that's a must this spring
Prints Display Feminine Air
For example, a print blouse can bring out the pertness of a spring suit. And there are rayon surals in small tie patterns or miniature paisley motifs in clear colors on white, delicate etchings colored with pastels on crepe, grouped, spaced motifs on crisp taffetas that are all new and exciting in spring blouses.
When selecting a print blouse, or making one, for a suit, The Silk and Rayon Print institute suggests the choice of a small, yet colorful pattern, for the most flattering result. Of special interest to home sewers are print jacket or coat linings to match blouses.
Easy to make, for home sewers,
are print dickies that can double as
fill-ins for suits and low-necked
dresses, or if it is a halter-gilet,
it can also be worn as a top for a
cocktail skirt.
Greater Stress Placed On Comfort
The stress is on greater comfort, with lines that conform to new princess, Empire style and long torso effect fashions, in foundations offered for spring selection.
New high top girdles, with a minimum of boning, are sometimes built up as high as three to four inches above the waist to achieve a smooth, long torso line.
For this type of foundation offers the one-piece slimming most effective for the new silhouettes. Often it is designed in a straight style suitable for evening or daytime wear with collocate necklines.
To prevent rolling, without the use of boning, many makers have created other safeguards, such as bias cut elastic, doubled panels and taped reinforcements. While insets of power net and leno elastic offer a maximum amount of all-over control.
Consetsle, too, are expected to play an important role beneath new spring empire, princess and long torso fashions.
