BLANCHE: I brought some nice clothes to meet all your lovely friends in.
This shows that Blanche wanted to be liked by Stella's friends and cared about what they thought of her. From what we know about Blanche already, we can assume she see's herself as better than these people but she still cares a great deal about what they think of her. Blanche wants approval from everyone. It also shows that Blanche thinks that if she looks nice that Stella's friends will like her more - even though the inhabitants of Elysian fields are not as likely to be swayed by expensive clothes and staples of wealth - and this shows us, again, how much importance Blanche places on her attractiveness.
