The JUMPER Comes of Age
It's altered in style a bit since the 1916 days
N important coming- of-age takes place this that of the jumper (jumpe blouse it was first called).
year
The name itself has a longer history in connection with dresu: in the middle of last century it was used to describe a loose outer jacket or shirt worn by sailors. Its technical definition as a woman's garment is: "A loose-fitting blouse without fastenings, worn over the rest of the dress, not tucked in at the waist."
Some were Smocked
THE
E first jumpers to which this definition was applied were entirely different from the high- waisted, well-fitting models of re- cent years. They were fore-runners of the long-waisted style which wan Women's clothes fashionable for
immediately after the war.
The earliest jumpers were remi- niscent of smocks. They came far below the waist and were cut with Some

inadels had a small yoke, and others were smocked in coarse, brightly coloured thread.
At first crepe de Chine, which had been the favourite blouse material but 21 for some years, was used, scarcity of this enured other fabrics to be employed, so that the garment became even more novelty.

Freedom of movement was valued more than the moulded line, and the tightly corseted waist was no longer admired. The jumper was some- thing more than fashion, it was n reform, and, as most reforms do, it went to extremes.
Now that the higher waist-line and the more definite silhouette have returned, the first jumpers seem more extravagant than ever, but the women of to-day owe one thing to the designers of 1916 now that the Vic- and close-fitting Edwardian torian fashions have been revived they are no longer attended by the discomfort which was once thought esscalin) to their success.
Hair Combs

MANY of the
