YARDS OF STITCHERY

RETURN OF SHIRT BLOUSE. London dressmakers whose collections are being shown now have all told the same story. ' 'Every one of these apparently simple directoire gowns that mould the figure is almost completely cut to pieces and put together again in the making," said ! a young Englishwoman who designed the 280 models in her collection in six days. "Gores, flares, empiecements—every kind of elaboration of cut is being introduced." Another woman designer finds that the return of the shirt blouse involves yards of extra stitchery because of the intricate cut of the "tailored" collar, cuffs, and sleeve. Miles of seams have been sewn to make each collection of new models. Elaborate cutting was the feature of' the Eileen Idare show, where the possibilities of white for evening gowns w r as exploited in four charming models. The flowing skirt of one was composed of 12 vertical pieces of chiffon over a yard long. Another chiffon model, having a two-decker skirt, had elaborate applique motifs. Thirty-eight tinv vertical tucks appeared on the skirt of another white gown, of georgette, at the Contessa opening. The silver girdle and crossed bands on the corsage gave a typically Greek outline'. SOME USEFUL HINTS. Printed chiffons are claiming a very prominent place among the favoured materials tor the gown with trailing lines. Such shades as monet blue, hunter's green and various shades of brown and capucine are favoured.
