She chose this favourite suit of the brown worsted and ribbed velvet from her current collection.

Over the all-round pleated skirt of worsted is worn a side-fastening blouse of ribbed velvet. The fed worsted jacket has collar, cuffs, and a cummerbund-inket of ribbed vel vet fastened with the sanc tiny golden buttons as those of the blouse.

The clothes Bianca Mosca makes are vitru feminine-a typically lovely frock made by her is an afternoon or cocktail model in brown silk chiffon, the bodice and cup sleeves swathed into a tiny waist above three tiers of finely-pleated chiffon caught up at the back into h bustle bow. This is worn under a plak dark brown coat in favecloth.

Bianca Mosca, tall and dark-eyed, has made clothes for stars to wear in many films.
