      8848 – Ladies’ Double-Breasted Coat, Gored to the Shoulders, with Attached Circular Skirt in Seven-Eighths, Three-Quarter or Short Three-quarter Length, and Notched Collar or Tuxedo Collar-Facing.
     The coats with added skirts are very stylish. A very smart design is here pictured in cloth with velvet collar, and in velvet with cloth collar. The coat is shaped in several gores, the seams at the back and front extending to the shoulders, and the fronts are lapped for a double-breasted closing, for which buttonholes or cord loops may be used. A notched collar and a Tuxedo collar-facing are supplied. The sleeves are shaped in regulation coat style by two seams, and are finished with stitching and buttons or with reversed cuffs. A narrow belt may cover the seam which attaches the circular skirt at the waistline. Seven-eighths, three-quarter and short three-quarter lengths are given. The front edges of the skirt may meet or be cut away, and the back is seamed for only a slight distance at the top, the plaits at each side being secured to a corresponding depth.
     A suit of brown velveteen might be made with a seven-gored skirt and a coat like this, the Tuxedo collar-facing and cuffs to be of brown silk heavily embroidered in self-color. Broadcloth, camel’s-hair, satin cloth, cheviot, serge, kersey, vicuna, Venetian, corduroy and velvet are suitable for reproduction.
     Pattern 8848 is in 7 sizes from 32 to 44 inches bust measure. For the medium size, it requires for coat in seven-eighths length, 7 3/8 yards of material 27 inches wide, or 3 3/8 yards 54 inches wide; in short three-quarter length, 4 3/4 yards 27 inches wide, or 2 1/2 yards 54 inches wide; each with 1/2 yard of velvet for inlaying collar and cuffs. Price, 20 cents.
     8854 – Ladies’ Seven-Gored Skirt, in Round, Short Round (Clearing) or Instep Length, with a Tuck-Plait at Each Side Seam and in the Middle of Each Gore Stitched at Both Folds or the Under-Fold to Any Yoke or Flounce Depth. (With or without the Trimming Bands.)
     All tastes are catered to this season in skirt modes, plain and trimmed, fitted and full, and shirred or plaited or tucked designs sharing equal favor. Tuck-plaits at the side seams and at the centre of each gore give a very pretty effect to the skirt here pictured in changeable broadcloth with Persian trimming bands, in Scotch goods and in taffeta. Seven gores are employed, and the tucks may be stitched along the outer folds or not, as preferred, to any yoke or flounce depth, like the under folds. An inverted box-plait is laid at the back and the addition of the trimming bands is optional. In the medium sizes the lower edge measurement is about five yards and one-fourth with the plaits drawn out, and the pattern provides for round, short round (clearing) or instep length.
     Cravenette, tweed, mixed goods, habit cloth, voile, prunella cloth, cashmere, lansdowne, surah and rajah silk are adaptable. Emerald-green chiffon broadcloth is suggested for a skirt made from this design, and with a bodice elaborately trimmed with lace, and a coat following the Empire lines a stylish costume will result.
     Pattern 8854 is in 9 sizes from 20 to 36 inches waist measure. For 24 inches waist, or material without nap or distinct up or down, the skirt not including trimming bands requires 7 3/8 yards 27 inches wide, or 4 3/4 yards 44 inches wide, or 4 1/4 yards 50 inches wide: with nap, 8 3/4 yards 27 inches wide, or 6 1/4 yards 44 inches wide, or 5 3/8 yards 50 inches wide. For three trimming bands, 3 yards 27 inches wide, or 2 yards 44inches wide, or 1 3/4 yard 50 inches wide will be needed. Price, 20 cents.

     3861 – Ladies’ Bolero Jacket.
     The front and back laid in inverted plaits. With or without the vest or collar.
     Three sizes, 32, 36 and 40 inches bust measure.
     The jaunty little plaited boleros promise to enjoy as large a share of modish patronage during the first days of autumn as during the summer. The smartly cut model presented is cut from mastic lady’s-cloth and has stitching and fancy embroidered buttons of the cloth as its only trimming. How easily the jacket is elaborated into a very handsome affair is represented on page 3 in a walking or calling gown of cardinal Burlingham silk. The vest of white scrim is embroidered in red silk and a plaiting outlines the collar and cuffs, and surrounds each button. The vest is closed by lapping the points over each other from right to left, or the middle point may lap over on the right to afford variation. Like the notched collar and the cuff, the vest is sometimes omitted. The puff elbow sleeves are quite full and are gathered into a band over which the cuff is arranged. Panama cloth, light-weight serge and cheviot, mohair and chiffon velvet are well spoken of for such jackets. The pattern is cut in 32, 36 and 40 inches bust measure. Size 36 requires 2 1/4 yards of 42-inch goods.
     3860 – Ladies’ Skirt.
     Having a circular upper portion, with inverted plaits over hips and at back, and lengthened by a circular flounce. Tucks three inches deep. Round length. If the hips are larger in proportion to the waist measure, order a size larger and take up deeper plaits.
     Six sizes, 22 to 30 inches waist measure.
     All of the many double-skirt effects are fashionable. On this page such a skirt is shown in white etamine to wear with evening blouses, and on page 1 it reappears as part of an afternoon walking-frock. The skirt consists of a circular upper portion, lengthened into round length by a circular flounce. Each of the parts is finished by a three-inch tuck. If desired, the lower edges may be cut off three inches and faced by a bias band of contrasting silk or velvet, or cut off six inches and lengthened by lace insertion or edging three inches wide. The extra fullness in the top is fitted snugly at the hips by inverted plaits, sometimes stitched to yoke depth along the outer folds. In the medium size the lower edge of the flounce measures about five yards. Chiffon, point d’esprit, Louisine, peau de soie, cloth and silk mohair may be employed. The pattern is cut from 22 to 30 inches waist measure. Size 26 requires 7 yards of 42-inch material.

 

 

 

 

 

New Idea January 1905

     (information below from December 1904, pg. 59)
     No. 3596 – Ladies’ Waist.
     Five sizes, 32 to 40 inches bust measure.
     This waist may be worn over a skirt of the same material to complete a gown, or used as a fancy separate waist. It has a boned and fitted lining and hooks at the center front. The striking feature of the mode is the arrangement of the material in narrow box plaits which are laid at the back, the fronts and in the sleeves. At the back the box plaits are laid from the neck to the waistline, while at the fronts they end at yoke depth and open out to give the requisite fullness over the bust. A plain girdle is provided which may be covered with a wrinkled girdle of silk or ribbon as shown in the illustration. The right front is deeply faced with different material and is reversed to form the rever. The closing is invisibly made and the neck completion is a fitted collar. The sleeves are lined and pointed at the wrists and the puff is adjusted to the arm by means of the box plaits. If made as illustrated, the medium size requires 2 3/4 yards of 42-inch material, 5/8 yard of contrasting material, with 1/2 yard of silk for girdle.
     (information below from December 1904, pg. 61)
     No. 3584 – Ladies’ Seven-gored Skirt.
     Five sizes, 22 to 30 inches waist measure.
     This skirt is one of the most attractive models of the season, and is particularly adapted to the light woolens and soft silks now in vogue. It is shaped with seven gores and is in round or dancing length. The front gore is perfectly plain and the fullness at the sides and back may be gathered or plaited. In the large view the material is laid over the hips and at the back in plaits, and in the small view the fullness is shirred to yoke depth. The placket opening is at the center back and a belt of the required size is joined to the top. Decoration is afforded by means of tucks, which are two inches in width and are arranged in groups. There is a generous sweep at the lower edge, which measures in the medium size 6 yards. For completing a dressy frock no better model can be offered. In the medium size, which is 26 inches waist measure, the skirt will require 8 yards of 42-inch material for making.

     3822 – Ladies’ Tucked Shirt-Waist.
     Made with full-length tucked sleeves and fancy cuff, or leg-o’-mutton shirt-waist sleeves and band cuff. Tucks on waist one and one-half inches deep. No lining. Five sizes, 32 to 40 inches bust measure.
     A rich, dark tartan silk, or even a tartan gingham, is always striking in effect, when made up on simple lines. A shirt-waist of this description is sketched on this page with relief of white and a plain black satin tie. The one-and-one-half-inch backward-turning tucks are stitched to yoke depth in front, but extend to the waist in V effect at the back, the resulting fullness being held in place about the waist with gathers. The sleeve may be made up as a full-length tucked affair finished by a fancy cuff, or as a leg-o’-mutton shirt-waist sleeve ending in a band cuff. The closing is to be found under the right side of the simulated box plait at the front, while the collar, arranged over a narrow band, fastens at the back. No lining is needed in this mode. A neat toilette for practical wear, shown on page 5, is formed of this design carried out in blue-and-white checked louisine and used in conjunction with a maroon kersey skirt, cut on pattern 3787. Washing cheviot, cotton damask and Japanese silk give good results. Pattern 3822 is cut from 32 to 40 inches bust measure. Size 36 requires 5 yards of 21-icnh material.
     (information below from July 1905, pg. 60)
     3778 – Ladies’ Circular Skirt.
     Five sizes, 22 to 30 inches waist measure.
     The pattern of this skirt is given in the fashionable round length, but may be made in shorter length if preferred. It is cut circular, and for this reason is suitable to goods of wide and medium widths. The adjustment over the hips is close, but at the hem there is ample and fashionable fullness. The back may be made in habit style or arranged in an inverted plait. The placket is at the center back, and a narrow belt of the required size is used to finish the top. In the construction of this skirt materials of various weights may be used, in silk, woolen and washable fabrics, and little or no trimming is required to make the style effective. The pattern is cut from 22 to 30 inches waist measure. Size 26 requires 4 yards of 42-inch material. If the hips are large in proportion to the size of the waist, it is advisable to use a pattern one size larger than the usual size of the waist measure.

     3830 – Ladies’ Waist.
     With surplice closing. The sleeves in full or elbow length, double or single puffs, and with or without revers collar, trimming band or cuff. Fitted lining given.
     Five sizes, 32 to 40 inches bust measure.
     Black liberty satin, touches of orange silk, and deep ecru lace go to make up a dressy gown on the modish surplice lines. The fitted waist lining is covered by two surplice outer portions, each cut in one piece, the extra width on the shoulder being controlled by rows of shirring. The full portions of the waist are outlined by shirred trimming bands, covered at the neck by revers collars, and frame a plastron ending in a standing collar. This last closes at the back, while the full portions and the lining fasten in front. The long or elbow sleeves are formed with double or single puffs at the tops and flare cuffs at the elbows. The tucked girdle belt closes at the side front and has the ends of the trimming bands fastened over on it. By omitting the trimming bands, revers collar and cuffs, a simple washing waist is obtained; or, by cutting out the lining in the shape of the plastron, a low-neck waist, suitable for formal evening parties, is created. A very chic copy for dressy afternoon or informal evening wear appears on page 4 in pale blue messlinette with revers and cuffs of primrose silk, the skirt in both toilettes being founded on pattern 3823. Chiffon, mousseline de soie, silk voile, taffetas, organdy and lawn are recommended. Pattern 3830 is cut from 32 to 40 inches bust measure. Size 36 requires 4 1/2 yards of 32-inch material, 2 1/2 yards of insertion, 5 yards of edging, 3 yards of lace for frill and 3 yards of fancy braid.
     3823 – Ladies’ Thirteen-Gored Skirt.
     With an inverted plait at back. Round length. Perforated for 39 inches.
     Five sizes, 22 to 30 inches waist measure.
     In spite of the popular liking for very full skirts, the more closely fitted modes still hold their own with well-dressed women. Especially in the more substantial woolens and washing fabrics, the results obtained are always better when the skirt has been cut on a seven, nine or thirteen gored pattern. Thirteen gores have the advantage of providing an ample measurement at the bottom, the sage-green canvas model illustrated being a case in point; for, while perfectly smooth at the hips, it extends into five and one-quarter yards at the lower edge. The placket is concealed under an inverted plait, and the pattern provides for cutting in round or clearing (39-inch) length. The design is recommended for washing fabrics, as the narrow gores are not easily ironed out of shape. It is also excellent for well-developed figures. The skirt is used separately or may form part of an etamine, cloth, canvas, mohair or linen frock. Pattern 3823 is cut from 22 to 30 inches waist measure. Size 26 requires 5 3/4 yards of 42-inch material.

     3757 – Ladies’ Yoke Waist.
     With removable lingerie sleeves. To be made with or without the lining.
     Five sizes, 32 to 40 inches bust measure.
     This waist closes at the back, and is made over a fitted lining that may be used or omitted. The full part of the waist is gathered, the upper edge is joined to the deep yoke, and the lower edge blouses modishly over a girdle belt. The yoke, which is square at the back and slightly rounded at the front, is finished at the neck by a smooth-fitted stock collar of the lace. The model provides for two distinct styles of sleeve, as pictured in the figure and garment views. The long sleeve is supported by a fitted lining, the lower half of which is covered smoothly with the material, and the short sleeve is finished with a lingerie sleeve. A waist made in this fashion is eminently suitable to complete the dressy frock. The material selected is water-green voile; the yoke and lingerie sleeves are made of fine lace over silk muslin. The pattern is cut from 32 to 40 inches bust measure. If made as illustrated, size 36 requires 2 1/4 yards of 42-inch material, and 1 yard of all-over for yoke, collar and lingerie sleeves.
     (information below from June 1904, pg. 61)
     No. 3454 – Ladies’ Skirt.
     In three straight sections. Perforated for round length.
     (Five sizes, 22 to 30 inches waist measure.)
      The pattern of this skirt is in three parts and consists of an upper section, centre section and flounce. All of these parts are perfectly straight, so that the model is simplicity itself. The upper section is gathered and finished with a belt of the required size, and the placket opening is at the centre back. The centre section is finished with a heading and is gathered and joined to the top section, and the flounce is treated in the same manner. The lower edge may be hemmed or faced, and the flare is that which fashion prescribes. If round length is desired, the skirt may be cut off on the perforated line given in the pattern. The mode is adapted to all sheer materials in voile, veilings, organdie, crepe de Chine, dimity and the like. The pattern is cut from 22 to 30 inches waist measure.

      Ladies’ Evening Toilette.
     This toilette is made of lavender eolienne, the waist being trimmed with purple velvet embroidered with gold thread and paillettes.
     1299 – Ladies’ Waist Closed At The Back. This charming waist is made of violet peau de soie combined with all-over lace. It is mounted on a fitted lining and the outer backs and front are tucked in box-plait effect and are shirred at the waist-line. Their upper edge is attached to the lower edges of a circular yoke fitted by shoulder seams. When the low round neck is desired the yoke is cut to the correct outline. A standing collar finishes the high neck and the sleeve consists of a two-seamed, close-fitting undersleeve and a one-seamed outside sleeve, having the fullness at the lower edge disposed in tucks. The lower part of the lining sleeve is faced to form a deep cuff, or when the elbow sleeve is preferred, the lower part of the undersleeve is cut away. A shirred girdle completes the lower edge of the body portions, and the closing of the garment is made down the center back by means of hooks and eyes.
     Taffeta, peau de soie, pongee, foulard, peau de cygne, louisine, drap d’été, crepe de Chine or satin crepe may be used to develop this design, and lace, insertion, embroidery, gimp, passementerie, ribbon, braid or Oriental trimming may be used to ornament.
     Ladies’ waist 1299 is in 6 sizes, from 32 to 42 inches bust measure, price 15 cents. The 36-inch bust size requires 4 yards of material 22 inches wide; 2 5/8 yards 36 inches, or 2 1/4 yards 44 inches wide.
     1296 – Ladies’ Eleven-Gored Skirt In Short Sweep, Round or Short Round Length.
     White serge is used to make this attractive skirt, which is an eleven-gored model, having an inverted box plait at the back and an outside box plait at each side seam. A circular yoke is provided, but may be omitted. It is fitted over the hips by dart-shaped tucks.
     Ladies’ skirt 1296 is in 6 sizes, from 22 to 32 inches waist measure, corresponding to 39 to 53 inches hip measure, price 15 cents.

     3895 – Ladies’ Waist.
     Waists of the dressier sort are usually closed in the back, as this model in nile-green lansdowne, with yoke and long cuffs of point gaze all-over lace, illustrates. A closely fitted lining serves as a foundation and the pattern provides for the waist to be made high in the neck with a standing collar, or cut out in Dutch round outline or low round neck, if the waist is destined for evening wear. Ample fullness both in the front and in the back of the waist, as well as the desirable long-shoulder effect, are caused by four rows of tuck shirrings extending around the neck opening. Similar rows of tuck shirrings regulate the fullness of the puff sleeve, which is attached to the body of the waist under the extended shoulder piece, thus producing a long, unbroken shirred effect along the shoulder seam. The deep lace cuff may be omitted if an elbow-length sleeve is preferred. A narrow crushed girdle of panne velvet, harmonizing with the material chosen, finishes the waist. Messaline, chiffon, taffeta, crêpe de Chine, peau de cygne and louisine are adapted to the mode. Yoke and cuffs may be reproduced in Irish crochet all-over lace, embroidered batiste, Brussels net, darned or spangle, point d’Angleterre or Brussels all-over; the choice of these being regulated by the weight and texture of the fabric chosen. The pattern is cut in four sizes, from 32 to 38 inches bust measure. Size 36 requires 2 yards of 42 inch material and 1 1/8 yards of all-over for collar, yoke and sleeves.
     (information below from November 1903, pg. 59)
     No. 3258 – Ladies’ Three-Piece Skirt.
     (Shirred to yoke depth and tucked at the lower edge.)
     White crêpe de Chine with red embroidered dots makes this stylish skirt. The model, which is extremely simple, is slightly gored at the top, and the lower edge is bordered with a cluster of one-inch tucks. The surplus material at the front, back and over the hips is shirred at evenly-spaced distances to stimulate a yoke, and the shirrings are attached to a yoke lining, which is included in the pattern. The placket opening is at the center back, and a narrow belt completes the top. No lining is given or required, and the skirt may be worn over a drop-skirt of silk or lingerie, whichever is preferred. The design is suitable to taffetas, louisine, voile, etamine, crêpe weaves, veilings, cashmere and such like. The pattern is cut from 22 to 30 inches waist measure. Size 26 requires 6 yards of 42-inch material.
