SILK LINING
The crepe-de-chene lining illustrated on page [85] has a grayed yellow-green background. The flower motif has yellow, black and orange in the center, red and purple in the outer parts. The bud is red and purple. The stem and leaves are blue. These colors were painted within wax outlines.
BATIKED BLOUSE WITH PETROPLAST ORNAMENTS
There were eight yards of this lining. When rolling the waxed goods on the frame, a paper was rolled up with the material to prevent the wax from sticking.
The lining was used for a full length blue serge cape. After two dry cleanings, this garment was still fresh and beautiful.
CAMISOLE
1. The camisole, page [78], was made from a 14 x 36-inch piece of white crepe-de-chene. Half-inch purple ribbon, seven-eighths yard long, made the shoulder straps; a narrow purple ribbon gathered the top.
