Women's Clothing

The clothing and textile section of the famous British fashion-models institute has completed the preparation of the new models for fabrics. This recent activity is the outcome of what the members of this section accomplished during the war in designing "lingerie" fabric, "blouses," and garments, and, after this, a new conquest in the field of the textile industry. A system of measurements for women's clothing is being drawn up so that the slender woman, the medium-sized, and the stout may each obtain what suits her; likewise the designations of the measurements for "blouses" and women's underclothing have been chosen. It is expected that a similar system will be adopted for the measurements of outer garments, to help trade at home and abroad alike.

The director of the great cotton-goods factories, who is engaged in trade and export as well, has said that the state of trade at home and abroad calls for industry to continue its large-scale production for the coming two or three years.
