Shocking But Economical
Modern styles for women may
shock old-timers but they cer
tainly are economical when it
comes to material required for
their manufacture.
Fifty years ago, the average
shirtwaist, or blouse, took about
3g- yards of 36-inch material,
about three times the amount
used in many blouses today.« *
