7430—Ladies’ Blouse, with Tuck Shirrings

7430—Ladies’ Blouse, with Tuck Shirrings with or without Cords, and with High or Low Neck and Full-Length or Elbow Sleeves.

Description

Tuck shirrings are introduced on some of the most attractive designs in frocks and separate blouses, and a pretty example is here displayed in white crepe de Chine and all-over thread lace.

A snug lining acts as a foundation for the blouse proper which is surmounted by a round yoke and has its fulness at the top regulated by tuck shirrings with or without cords, that in front being allowed to droop gracefully over the crush girdle, while at the back it is drawn down snugly.

The mode, which extends well over the shoulders, closes in front, and is completed with a standing collar.

Tuck shirrings in the sleeves accentuate the drop-shoulder appearance, and the voluminous puffs sag modishly over two-seam linings having simulated cuffs of lace. Provision is made for a low neck and elbow sleeves as well.

Dressmaker Options

Soft, diaphanous materials are best adapted to such modes and excellent results are obtainable in Liberty satin, crepe de Paris, mousseline, chiffon velvet, veiling and voile.

Pattern 7430 is in 6 sizes from 32 to 42 inches, bust measure. For the medium size, it needs 4 3/8 yards of material 27 inches wide, with 1 yard of all-over lace. Price, 20 cents.

Editor's Note: Some terminology used in the description of women's clothing during the 1800s and early 1900s has been changed to reflect more modern terms. For example, a women's "Toilette" -- a form of costume or outfit has an entirely different common meaning in the 21st century. Typical terms applied to "toilette" include outfit, ensemble, or costume, depending on context.
