Figure No. 123R. – This embraces a Ladies’ jacket (no.3776) and skirt (no. 3748).

     The skirt forming part of this toilette is cut on unique lines. It is a four-gored mode that is adjusted in sheath style at the front and sides, but has a double box-plait at the back. At the lower part of each side-front seam is formed an under box-plait, the impression of a slashed skirt being thus given below the knee. The skirt is here shown made of mixed brown cheviot and is embellished with an embroidered design done in brown silk.
     The close-fitting Eton jacket is slightly double-breasted, and the fronts are deepened at the center to form a point. A velvet rolling collar reverses the fronts in lapels, and the sleeves are in two-seam style. Dark-brown cloth was selected for the jacket, which is finished with stitching.
     Such a toilette may be developed in cloth, serge or zibeline and finished with self-strappings or stitched bands of taffeta.
     Ladies’ Slightly Double-Breasted Eton Jacket.
(To Be Made With or Without the Center-Back Seam and with Pointed or Rounded Collar and Lapels.)
     No. 3776. – A natty Eton jacket is here shown made of gray cloth and finished with machine-stitching. It terminates at the waist at the back and sides, but at the front it extends in a point a little below the line of the waist. The jacket, which is slightly double-breasted, is snugly adjusted by single bust-darts and under-arm and side-back gores, and may be made either with or without a center-back seam. The back may be straight or curved at the lower edge, and the jacket may be worn open or closed. Above the closing the fronts are turned back in revers by the rolling collar, and gathers collect the fullness at the top of the two-seam sleeve.
     Velvet, serge, cheviot, etc., will be suitable for the jacket, the collar and revers of which may be faced with silk or satin.
     We have pattern No. 3776 in nine sizes for ladies from thirty to forty-six inches, bust measure. To make the Eton jacket for a lady of medium size requires a yard and a half of material fifty-four inches wide. Price of pattern, 10d. or 20 cents.
     Ladies’ Four-Gored Skirt,
Having an Under Box-Plait At The Lower Part of Each Side-Front Seam and a Double Box-Plait at the Back.
(To Be Made In Dip Or Round Length.)
     No. 3748. – This skirt is one of the newest designs and is in this instance developed in broadcloth of a fashionable light shade and decorated simply but effectively with self-strappings. The skirt is a four-gored style and consists of a front-gore, a side dart-fitted gore at each side and a back-gore; it is arranged in a double box-plait at the center of the back, the plait broadening gradually toward the bottom. The skirt ripples slightly below the hips, and extra width, arranged in an under-folded box-plait, is introduced at each side-front seam below the knee. The skirt flares becomingly to the lower edge, where in the medium sizes with the front plaits laid in it measures about three yards and a half at the lower edge. If the figure be slight, hip conformers or pads should be worn. The placket is made above the left side-front seam.
     Electric cloth, satin Liberty cloth, camel’s-hair, Bedford cord, veiling, crépon, crêpe de Chine and a variety of other fabrics will develop handsome skirts by the mode, with braid, passementerie or appliqué band for garniture. Serviceable skirts may be made of serge, cheviot, or homespun.
     We have pattern No. 3748 in nine sizes for ladies from twenty to thirty-six inches waist, or from thirty-six to fifty-seven and a half inches hip measure. To make the skirt of material with figure or nap for a lady of twenty-four inches waist or forty inches hip, requires five yards fifty inches wide. Of material without figure or nap, it needs four yards in the same width. Price of pattern, 10d. or 20 cents.

Figure No. 46T. – Ladies’ Toilette. – This illustrates a Ladies’ Eton jacket (no.4188) and skirt (no.4168).

     Light-weight cloth in a fashionable shade of steel-blue and white silk were here combined in the development of the modish toilette, the effectiveness of which is enhanced by the garniture of white cloth appliqué outlined by fine silk braid. The Eton is on the newest cut and is closely adjusted; it is in this instance made without a collar and extends only to the waist at the back, but dips at the front. The hatchet-shaped revers are a feature of the mode, which has close-fitting two-seam sleeves and flares to reveal a silk shirt-waist with which is worn a removable turn-down collar and ribbon tie.
     The three-piece skirt is tucked at the sides to graceful flounce depth and has its fullness at the back laid in an inverted box-plait.
     Taffeta, mohair, cheviot and homespun will develop the toilette stylishly, and the revers may be faced with polka-dotted silk or of plain silk overlaid with lace. A smart toilette for morning wear could be made of plain and figured cotton vesting, the plain variety being used for the skirt.
     Ladies’ Eton Jacket. To Be Made with a Flaring or Turn-Down Collar Or Without any Collar
     No. 4188. – The Eton shows no sign of waning popularity and is seen in numerous designs and materials and decorated in almost every conceivable manner or plainly finished. The one illustrated is a pleasing compromise of the severely plain and the more elaborate styles and is here developed in stone-gray lady’s-cloth combined with all-over lace over white satin and decorated with lace edging. It is also pictured made of cloth with machine-stitching for the finish. The fronts of the jacket are turned back to form hatchet-shaped revers that are features of the mode, which is closely adjusted and is made without a center-back seam. The pattern provides for either a high flaring or turn-down collar, but, if preferred, the jacket may be made without a collar. The fronts are dart-fitted and closed in double-breasted style with buttons and cord loops. The Eton deepens slightly at the front, but at the sides and back it terminates at the waist. The tow-seam sleeves are comfortably adjusted.
     A dressy jacket could be developed in tucked black taffeta, with facings of white satin for the collar and revers and bands of black velvet ribbon or lace appliqué for trimming. A lining of soft Marie Antoinette silk would add materially to the attractiveness of the mode. A stylish Eton could be made of black cloth decorated with appliqués of satin and narrow black braid.
     We have pattern No. 4188 in nine sizes for ladies from thirty to forty-six inches, bust measure. To make the jacket for lady of medium size, needs a yard and one-half of material fifty-four inches wide, with a yard of satin twenty inches wide and a yard of all-over lace in the same width for covering the revers and the inside of flare collar and for underfacing the fronts. Price of pattern, 10d. or 20 cents.
     The skirt pattern, which is No. 4168 and costs 1s. or 25 cents, is in nine sizes from twenty to thirty-six inches, waist measure.

     This illustrates a Ladies’ blouse Eton (no. 4352) and skirt (no.4290).

     It would be difficult to excel in style and effectiveness the simple toilette shown at this figure. Light-weight red broadcloth was the material employed, with a rich decoration of black silk appliqué on facings of white satin. The double-breasted blouse Eton is in this instance worn closed and is turned back at the top in revers that frame a vest front of embroidered batiste. The revers form the front of a deep sailor-collar, but, if desired, the fronts may be reversed to the bottom to expose the vest front in full length. The sleeves are closely adjusted, and a standing collar finishes the neck of the vest front; machine-stitching gives a neat finish to the Eton, with which is worn a ribbon belt.
     A pleasing feature of the seven-gored skirt is the introduction of a side-plait at the lower part of each side seam and an inverted box-plait at the back. The skirt shows the fashionable dip effect at the top in front, and in this instance, is in short-sweep length.
     Serge, cheviot, Venetian cloth, homespun, zibeline, suiting, duck and linen will develop stylish toilettes by the mode with self-strapping, braid or any favored garniture. A handsome traveling toilette for an early Autumn bride is of gray-blue cheviot-serge, with inlays of black panne satin in the sailor collar and revers, and cuff-facings of the same on the sleeves. The vest front was of finely tucked batiste.
     Ladies’ Double-Breasted Blouse Eton.
    
No. 4352. – The distinguishing features of the jaunty blouse Eton, here shown in a stylish combination of navy-blue and white serge with machine-stitching for the finish, are the vest front and sailor collar. The Eton may be worn open or closed and with or without the vest front. It has a smooth, seamless back, but at the front has pretty fullness at the bottom that blouses attractively. The fronts are broadly reversed at the top to form the front of the deep, square sailor-collar. They are closed in double-breasted style with loops and gilt buttons, but may be rolled back to the bottom if liked. The smooth vest-front blouses stylishly and is completed with a standing collar closed at the back. A narrow applied belt encircles the waist, and the coat sleeves are of fashionable shaping.
     The sailor collar and vest front of a yachting blouse could be ornamented with embroidered anchors or some other appropriate emblems. Cheviot, mohair, suiting, fine flannel and lady’s-cloth will develop the mode satisfactorily, and braid, strappings of the material or lace appliqué may be used for decoration.
     We have pattern No. 4352 in seven sizes for ladies from thirty to forty-two inches, bust measure. To make the Eton for a lady of medium size, requires two yards and an eighth of goods forty-four inches wide, with three-fourths of a yard of contrasting material in the same width for the standing collar and vest front. Price of pattern, 10d. or 20 cents.
     Ladies’ Seven-Gored Skirt.
     No. 4290. – Numerous and in great variety are the skirt designs this season, and the attractive one here illustrated developed in beige broadcloth shows the fashionable dip that is so popular. It is in seven-gored style, comprising a front-gore, two gores at each side and two back-gores, and is smoothly fitted at the upper part. The skirt is shaped at the top to give the popular dip that is a feature of fashionable modes; this effect may, however, be slight or very decided, according to preference. Extra width allowed at the lower part of each side seam and arranged in a side plait induces a stylish flare at the foot, an essential characteristic of the up-to-date skirt. The mode, which may be in round or short-sweep length, has it fullness at the back laid in an inverted box-plait and falls in an outline of about three yards and three-fourths in the medium sizes.
     The design will develop attractively in voile, surah, taffeta, foulard, serge, homespun, veiling, English suiting, etc., with ribbon, braid, insertion and passementerie for trimming. The mode is desirable for street or ceremonious wear, and the use for which the skirt is intended will decide as to the material and trimming. Mauve crêpe will develop a handsome skirt for wear with dressy shirt-waists, a band of heavy écru lace insertion being let in at the bottom. A fashionable skirt is of figured rose-and-white Liberty satin, with bands of Russian appliqué lace for decoration.
     We have pattern No. 4290 in seven sizes for ladies from twenty to thirty-two inches waist, or thirty-seven to fifty-two and one-half inches hip measure. To make the skirt of material with figure or nap for a lady of twenty-four inches waist or forty-one inches hip, will require four yards and three-fourths fifty inches wide; of goods without figure or nap, four yards in the same width will be needed. Price of pattern, 1s. or 25 cents.


 

 

 

 

 



Delineator August 1900, pg. 159, 164, 173
This portrays a ladies’ Empire gown (no.4187).

     Empire gowns are decidedly en règle this season for evening wear, and no design can excel in grace and becomingness the example here illustrated developed in contrasting shades of violet crepe de Chine and panne. The skirt, which has a short train and is seamed at the sides and back, is gathered at the top, where it is joined to the smooth, short body. The circular shaping of the skirt causes it to fall in graceful ripples at the bottom, where rows of chiffon ruchings enhance the effect. A feature of the gown is the jaquette, which, at the back, follows the scolloped upper edge of the body and is in inverted V outline at the bottom. The fronts of the jaquette separate over the body, which is concealed by an applied yoke and a sash that starts from the under-arm seams beneath the jaquette and is bowed at the center. The short sleeves are fancifully shaped at the bottom, and appliqués of lace provide ornamentation.
     A dainty Empire gown could be made of white point d’esprit over Nile-green India silk, with silk or panne for the jaquette and yoke, and ruffles of point d’esprit for decoration. The sash could be of crepe de Chine, chiffon, mousseline or net. Vailing, cashmere, surah and other soft silk and woolen fabrics could be attractively combined with all-over lace by the mode. A guimpe is included in the pattern.
     Ladies’ Empire Gown, With Short Train.
(To Be Worn With or Without The Guimpe, The Sleeves of Which May Be In Either Of Two Lengths.)
     No. 4187. – The gracefulness of the Empire gown retains for it many admirers, and rumors of its again coming into popularity will be hailed with delight by many. An exceptionally handsome gown of this style that is suitable for dinners or receptions as well as for house wear is here represented. In the present instance violet Lansdowne is associated with panne of a darker shade and white chiffon, narrow ruffles of the Lansdowne and lace appliqué band providing ornamentation. The short body is fitted with single bust darts and is low and square at the neck in front, but in fanciful low outline at the back. It curves up prettily at the lower edge and closes at the center in front. The jaquette is seamed separately on the shoulders and under the arms and follows the outline of the body both top and bottom at the back, but rounds away gracefully in front, where it reveals the applied pointed yoke that hides the body closing. It is completed with short sleeves that are curved up stylishly on the upper side. A graceful adjunct of the Empire gown is the sash, which starts from under the arms beneath the jaquette and is bowed in front, the long ends falling almost to the lower edge of the gown. The skirt is in three-piece style and is slightly gathered all around at the top, the fullness at the back being more pronounced. The mode falls in graceful folds to the lower edge and is made with a short train.
     The guimpe is made of all-over lace and is smoothly adjusted; it terminates a short distance above the waist-line and closes at the back. The one-seam sleeves are without the slightest suggestion of fullness at the top and are given a soft finish by a frill of lace; they may be in elbow or full-length. The stock rises in scallops at the side.
     The Empire gown possesses charming possibilities, and much originality and taste appear in some of the new combinations. The mode was coped in mauve with heliotrope panne and decorated with passementerie. China silk and foulard, cashmere, Henrietta and veiling are suitable for the gown, with velvet, panne or satin overlaid with lace for the jaquette. A rich development was in silk brilliant showing sprays of pale-yellow flowers on a white ground. The jaquette was of white satin overlaid with yellow lace.
     We have pattern No. 4187 in seven sizes for ladies form thirty to forty-two inches, bust measure. To make the gown for a lady of medium size, including ruffles three inches wide to trim, requires five yards and seven-eighths of goods forty-four inches wide. The guimpe needs a yard and seven-eighths twenty inches wide, the jaquette and front-yoke, a yard and three-eighths twenty inches wide, and the sash a yard and five-eighths thirty-six or more inches wide. Price of pattern, 1s. 3d. or 30 cents.

Figure No. 187T. – This comprises a Ladies’ coat (no.4482) and skirt (no.4448).


     For shopping, touring, etc., this toilette will prove particularly acceptable. English suiting and dark velvet were employed in the development, a tailor-like finish being given by stitching. The coat, which shows the long shoulder effect that is characteristic of military styles, is fitted closely; it is gored to the shoulders, both front and back, and closed in double-breasted fashion with buttons and button-holes. The fronts are turned back above the closing in stylish lapels that extend in points beyond the ends of the rolling collar, and at the lower edge the coat is fancifully shaped. The close-fitting sleeves are scolloped at the wrists and flare over the hands.
     The one-piece circular skirt is fitted perfectly close at the top, the fullness at the back being laid in an inverted box-plait. It ripples gracefully at the bottom and is in instep length.
     Broadcloth, melton, kersey and similar coatings will develop the made stylishly, with braid, self-strappings or velvet for the finish. The skirt is equally desirable for plaids and pattern fabrics as for plain goods.
     No. 4482 – Ladies’ Coat or Jacket.
    
This well-shaped coat is here shown made of fawn-colored broadcloth with rows of machine-stitching for the finish. The back and sides are closely adjusted and the fronts are fitted with seams that extend like the side-back seams to the shoulders. Above the closing, which is made in double-breasted style with buttons and button-holes, the fronts are turned back in lapels that extend beyond the ends of the deep rolling collar. The two-seam sleeves are of correct shaping and are cut in scallops to fall over the hand, and the coat may be straight-around or fancy at the lower edge, according to individual preference.
     A handsome coat might be of black satin-faced cloth with an inlay of velvet on the collar and lapels. Cheviot, melton in medium weight, covert cloth, Venetian, tweed and tailor cloths of all descriptions are suitable for the reproduction of the design, and the finish will be generally machine-stitching.
     We have pattern No. 4482 in nine sizes for ladies from thirty to forty-six inches, bust measure. For a lady of mediums size, the coat requires a yard and three-fourths of goods fifty-four inches wide. Price of pattern, 9d. or 20 cents.
*information below from October 1900, pgs. 462, 464*
     Ladies’ One-Piece or Two-Piece Circular Skirt.
    
No. 4448. – The practical woman recognizes the benefits to be obtained from wearing the slightly shortened skirt, and, in consequence, this useful garment is not only an acknowledged but a necessary part of the well-ordered outfit. A skirt that will be sure to meet with appreciation is here shown made of cloth. In one instance the material is plain and in the other plaid stitching giving the finish in both cases. The mode is of circular shaping and is cut in one-piece, but may be in two-piece style with a seam at the centre of the front and back, if preferred. A dip at the top of the front that may be conventional or more pronounced distinguishes the skirt, which is dart-fitted over the hips and has fullness at the back laid in an under-folded box-plait that is stitched for a short distance. The skirt ripples with becoming fullness at the lower edge, where it measures about three yards in the medium sizes, and may be made in instep or shorter length. The mode is a particularly desirable one for touring, shopping, stormy-weather wear and for outdoor sports of all descriptions, and is equally desirable for plaids and pattern fabrics as for plain goods.
     For golfing skirts the favorite color is a very dark iron-gray or black. Oxford suiting will develop the mode stylishly.
     We have pattern No. 4448 in nine sizes for ladies from twenty to thirty-six inches waist, or thirty-seven to fifty-eight and one-half inches hip measure. For a lady of twenty-four inches waist or forty-one inches hip, the one-piece skirt needs two yards and seven-eighths of goods fifty-eight inches wide; two yards and three-fourths of goods in the same width will be required for the two-piece skirt. Price of pattern, 10d. or 20 cents.

Delineator March 1900, pg. 302, 310, 316, 320, 324

Figure No. 125R. – This includes a Ladies’ waist (no. 3757) and skirt (no. 3822).


     Dainty in the extreme is the dressy gown here depicted made of blue vailing and tucked white silk and lavishly adorned with buttons, appliqués of chiffon and ruffles of embroidered chiffon. The skirt is exceedingly attractive. A cluster of tiny dart-shaped tucks is taken up at each side, which, together with a group of wider and deeper tucks at the center of the back, where the skirt is laid in a box-plait, remover all the fullness at the top. The skirt is in four-gored style and is fashioned with a sweep.
     The waist has a seamless back, tucked at the bottom and smooth at the top, where it overlaps a deep square yoke. The full fronts are gathered at the bottom, tucked at the arm-hole and flare broadly over a fancy yoke-chemisette. Two ruffles of chiffon are cascaded down the closing, and the standing collar is beautified by two turn-over sections and a jaunty bow of orange panne. A flaring cuff finishes the small, close-fitting sleeve, which is cut out at the top on the upper side to disclose the cap-facing.
     In light-weight cloth or Liberty cashmere, associated with Liberty satin heavily encrusted with silver paillettes, the gown will be remarkably stylish.
     Ladies’ Basque-Waist, Having a Fancy Yoke-Chemisette That May Be Plain or Tucked.
     No. 3757. – Charming results are attained in the present development of the stylish basque-waist by the combination of corded and plain silk. Appliqué lace, buttons, velvet ribbon and a chiffon jabot supply ornamentation. The back and fronts of the waist are shaped to accommodate a smooth, fancy yoke-chemisette that reaches to the lower edge in front but only to yoke depth at the back. The fronts have their fullness taken up in a group of small, upward-turning tucks at the arm-hole, below which they puff out prettily to the lower edge, where they are drawn in close by shirrings. The fullness in the lower part of the back is also taken up in small tucks. The upper portion of the two-seam sleeve is cut away at the top to reveal a cap-facing arranged on the lining. The sleeve has only slight gathered fullness at the top, and is finished with circular flare cuffs. A standing collar with fancy flare sections completes the neck of the waist, which is made over a dart-fitted lining that closes with the waist at the center of the front.
     Satin-faced cloth and silk, silk cashmere and lace, satin de soie and spangled net are appropriate combinations for the waist.
     We have pattern No. 3757 in eight sizes for ladies from thirty to forty-four inches, bust measure. To make the basque-waist for a lady of medium size, will require two yards and a half of material twenty inches wide, with a yard of material in the same width for the chemisette fronts, back-yoke, sleeve facings, collar and collar ornaments. Price of pattern, 10d. or 20 cents.
     Ladies’ Skirt: Consisting of a Five-Gored Foundation Skirt That May Be Omitted, And a Four-Gored Skirt Fitted To the Belt With Tucks At the Sides and With a Tucked Box-Plait At the Back. (To Be Made With a Sweep or In Round Length.)
     No. 3822. – Tucking seems to have gained a firm foothold in the world of fashion and appears quite as largely on skirts as on bodices this season. A very gracefully designed skirt is here shown developed in white India silk figured in light-blue. The skirt has four gores – a front-gore, a wide gore at each side and a back-gore. The fullness at the back of the skirt is arranged in a box-plait on the outside, a group of backward-turning tucks appearing between the outer folds of the plait. The tucks are of even depth and extend about ten inches below the belt, the resulting fullness flaring gracefully to the lower edge. A cluster of tiny dart-shaped tucks that taper to points at the bottom removes the fullness over each hip, and a ruffle of the material shaped in scalloped outline at the top and headed by a band of lace appliqué, gives a pretty finish at the lower edge. The skirt, which may be made with a sweep or in round length, is made over a five-gored foundation skirt that may be used or not and is fitted over the hips by a dart at each side. The skirt measures about four yards round at the bottom, and hip-conformers should be worn, if the figure be slender.
     A skirt of gray satin-faced cloth made by this mode and trimmed with bands of appliqué lace would be handsome. Such fabrics as Liberty satin, panne, etc., will be suitable for the design.
     We have pattern No. 3822 in nine sizes for ladies from twenty to thirty-six inches waist, or from thirty-six to fifty-seven and a half inches hip measure. To make the skirt of material with figure or nap for a lady of twenty-four inches waist or forty inches hip, requires eight yards and a half twenty inches wide. Of material without figure or nap, it needs seven yards and an eighth in the same width. Price of pattern, 1s. or 25 cents.

It is attached to the upper edge of the waist and closes on the left shoulder. Beading and baby ribbon, in addition to the edging of lace, form an effective decoration. A girdle of velvet fastening with a gold buckle completes the lower edge of the waist as pictured in the large views, although the shaped basque piece may be attached, if preferred, as shown in the two small illustrations of the waist. The remaining small views depict the back and front of guimpe without the waist.

     The skirt consists of a front, two side and two back gores. The fullness at the upper edge is collected in gathers, the main part of it being at the back. The upper edge is finished with a narrow belt, and the placket opening is made at the centre of the back. A ruffle of material is attached near the lower edge and rows of insertion and narrow ribbon further enhance the dainty effect. The small view shows this garment without trimming. When a slip skirt is desired it is cut in the same way as the outer one.
     Lawn, dimity, organdie, swiss, mull, chiffon, net, etc., may be selected to develop this pattern, lace, ribbon, braid or embroidery forming the garniture.
     This pattern is cut in seven sizes, for ladies from twenty to thirty-tow inches waist measure, and costs 10d. or 20 cents.

     The waist may be made of silk, cashmere, henrietta, serge, poplin, net, grenadine or wash materials, and may be trimmed with lace, ribbon, braid, gimp or embroidery.
     This pattern is cut in seven sizes, for ladies from thirty-two to forty-four inches bust measure, and costs 10d. or 20 cents. The medium size requires three and one-half yards of material twenty-two inches wide; two and three eights yards thirty inches; one and three-quarters yards forty inches, or one and three-eighths yards fifty inches. As represented, two and three-quarters yards of twenty-two-inch silk were used, with three-quarters of a yard of twenty-inch pleated chiffon for vest, etc., seven and one-half yards of lace insertion, one and seven-eighths yards of lace edging to trim, also one and one-quarter yards of ribbon for belt and bow.
     Ladies’ Shirred Skirt.
     No. 5658. – The skirt displayed in the accompanying illustration is a charming design for development in thin materials. As pictured it is made of white mousseline de soie over pink satin, and is ornamented with many rosettes of deep rose-pink velvet.
     The skirt consists of a seven-gored foundation. On this the full gores of the material are arranged. These are gathered along the seam edges of each gore of the foundation skirt. A narrow belt finishes the upper edge of the skirt and the bottom is faced.
     The foundation skirt may be made of silk, satin, percaline, lawn or organdie, and the full portions may be of mousseline de soie, grenadine, Brussels net, point d’esprit, fancy gauze, lace, net or any soft, light-weight material. Lengthwise bands of embroidery, gimp, narrow passementerie or lace insertion may be applied to the seams of the gores, or rosettes of lace, velvet, silk or ribbon may be use to trim.
     This pattern is cut in five sizes, from twenty to twenty-eight inches waist measure, and costs 10d. or 20 cents. If goods show up-and-down cast, figure or nap, all pieces must be laid one way, and the medium size will require, for whole garment, twelve and three-quarters yards of material twenty-two inches wide; eight and one-half yards thirty inches; six and one-quarter yards forty inches, or four and three-quarters yards fifty inches. Of goods showing no up-and-down cast, figure or nap the medium size will require only ten and one-eighth yards of material twenty-two inches wide; six and three quarters yards thirty inches; four and five-eighths yards forty inches, or four and one-eighth yards fifty inches, with six and one-quarter yards of material twenty-two inches wide for under-skirt and three yards of skirt binding. As represented, sixty-two yards of ribbon were used for rosettes.
