LESSON IV
HOW TO MAKE BLOUSES
BLOUSES have come up in the world. It's different than it used to be when "shirtwaist" meant a feminine addition of a man’s shirt. One shirtwaist was as near like another as two peas in a pod. Now you couldn’t count styles in blouses—the glorified shirtwaist—on your two hands.
The modern idea is to suit your individuality and wear the style of blouse that is becoming to you, but the type of the blouse is a different matter. Blouses are divided into several distinct classes—blouses for sports, blouses for informal wear and costume blouses. Pick the blouse that is appropriate for the occasion and one that suits the skirt you intend wearing with it.
The right blouse with the right skirt makes a smart costume. The right blouse may even help a mediocre skirt to be passable. However, the wrong blouse will spoil even the most stylish skirt.
