The scarf matches the blouse. The evening belt at the right is three inches wide and is made entirely of rhinestones. A short-sleeved waistcoat of linen with embroidered dots may be obtained either in navy blue or in bright orange with white dots. It is entirely hand-made and is distinctly reminiscent of the basques of our grandmothers’ day.
