Blue and White Pique Costume.. l
Pique and kindred materials are to i
be among the most popular of summer
fabrics for women’s wear. They are. to i
be had in all the brilliant shades of the :
principal colors, and will be self-trim- i
med or made with bands of a plain con- i
trasting color of pique or braid. as they ,
suit the fancy. To insure satisfaction l
in the wear of a pique gown. the fabric 5
should be thoroughly shrunk before 1
being made up. Even when this pre-
caution is'taken, a second shrinking is
laundered. It is therefore advisable to
make a garment of piqUe atrifle longer
thap it would be if rendered in cloth.
In the pattern of a blue and white
costume of this material which is is-
sued with , HARPER'S BAZAR where
this costume appears, this extra size is
allowed for. The color of the material
