     9482 – Ladies’ Jacket, in Hip or Eton Length, with Full-Length or Shorter Sleeves, with or without the Fancy Collar-Facing or Trimming Bands.
     A smart example of the fashionable short jacket is here illustrated in broadcloth with velvet, and also in venetian, each being decorated with fancy braid. Side-front and side-back seams assist in shaping the garment, and the extra fullness at the seams is laid in inverted plaits and creased to the lower edge whether in hip or Eton length. Provision is made for upright bands to cross the shoulders, their pointed ends terminating above the inverted fullness; these, however, are only ornamental and may be omitted as well as the band encircling the body. The fancy collar-facing of the same or contrasting material adds a dressy touch but its use is optional. Turn-back cuffs finish the long sleeve when a plain wrist is not desired, and are also used with shorter sleeves. Gathers adjust them into the armholes unless plaits are preferred, in which case four are laid at the top turning toward each seam.
     Covert, English suiting, Scotch mixtures, chiffon panama, tropical suiting pebble cheviot and the new fall novelties are suitable.
     Jacket 9482 is in 5 sizes, from 32 to 40 inches bust measure. For the medium size it calls for 1 3/4 yard of cloth 54 inches wide, with 7/8 yard of velvet 20 inches wide, or of one material, 3 yards 44 inches wide. Price, 15 cents.
     9465 – Ladies’ Tucked Five-Piece Skirt, in Medium Sweep, Round or Short Round Length, with or without the Band Trimming.
     English Suiting was used in one illustration of this stylish skirt, which is also shown in chiffon broadcloth and fancy panama. Five gores are used in the construction, and a smooth adjustment is obtained by means of graduated tucks that are taken up in the upper part and stitched to any yoke depth desired for individual becomingness. An inverted box-plait is arranged at the back. In the medium sweep and round length, the fullness is usually allowed to fall free below the tucks, while in the short round length it may be creased in flat plaits to the lower edge where the skirt attains a measurement of about five yards and one-fourth in the medium sizes. Bands with the ends turning upward in points at the centre of the front and at each side form a pleasing foot trimming.
     Invisible check and fancy mohair, cover, tropical and Scotch suiting, whipcord, chiffon voile, French veiling, eolienne, French poplin, chiffon panama, English worsted, tweed, venetian, prunella, habit cloth, broché taffeta, pongee, burlingham, etc., are suggested.
     Skirt 9465 is in 8 sizes, from 20 to 34 inches waist measure. For 24 inches waist, of material without nap or distinct up or down, it calls for 6 7/8 yards 27 inches wide; with nap, 7 7/8 yards. Price, 15 cents.

     4077 – Ladies’ Two-Piece Costume.
     Spring models show the popularity of the princess style and the costume illustrated here in gray Venetian, with cuff, and collar of red velvet, and again on page 3, in wine-red ladies’ cloth, with a delicate green embroidered band on cuffs and collar suggests two jaunty adaptations of this pattern. The bolero and princess styles being essentially of the dressy order should be worn only with dressy blouses, especially those of the lingerie order, of sheer materials with trimmings of lace and fine embroidery. The long gloves may be replaced by a dressy cuff and short gloves. Nine gores in round length, having a side plait at each seam are employed in shaping the skirt, with an inverted plait at the back, under which the closing is made. A measurement of 5 1/4 yards is attained at the lower edge with the plaits drawn out and machine stitches, or several rows of braid add ornamentation to the bottom of the skirt. The Eton closes with fancy buttons and buttonholes but may be left open if desired.
     A fancy band finishes the bottom of the full three-quarter length sleeve. Material for the jacket and skirt need not necessarily match in texture and color. A blue shepherd’s check for the skirt with blue broadcloth for the jacket, or a white serge barred with blue lines and worn with a black Venetian Eton, are the most up-to-date suggestions for informal developments of the pattern. Other materials recommended as seasonable are viyella, veiling, chiffon taffeta, nun’s veiling, sicilian, Burlingham, rajah and linen. The pattern is cut in 5 sizes, from 32 to 40 inches bust measure. Size 36 requires 10 1/4 yards of 32-inch material. The medium size requires 3/4 yard of velvet for collar and cuffs.

     Nos. 1176 – 1190. – Ladies’ Costume. – Green velvet, white satin and all-over lace were stylishly combined in this lovely costume. But the design is suited to combinations of cloth and velvet, cloth and silk, silk and lace, etc. The waist is in one of the new bodice effects that are now considered so stylish. The guimpe portion is made in the form of a full blouse of white satin with the fullness simply gathered into the neck and waist-line. It opens in the center-front. The back is in one piece with its slight fullness gathered into the waist-line. The sleeves have short puffs to just above the elbows, where they are trimmed with turn-back cuffs of the material, faced with allover lace, and met with long fitted cuffs of allover lace, though short sleeves can be worn if desired. The velvet bodice portion of the waist is cut in fancy shape and trimmed with green silk braid and fastened with a fancy gilt button.
     No. 1176. – Ladies’ Waist (Full Length or Short Puff Sleeves), requires for medium size, for waist, 3 1/2 yds. material 27 ins. wide, 2 5/8 yds. 36 ins. wide, 1 7/8 yds. 44 ins. wide, or 1 5/8 yds. 54 ins. wide.

     4135 – Ladies’ Costume.
     There is nothing prettier for outing wear than a sailor costume, and the one portrayed here is of blue linen, trimmed with braid and a sailor knot of blue silk. The blouse is made to slip on over the head and left to pouch slightly all around over the belt, though if preferred the waist may be drawn down at the back. The applied yoke, which is a pretty feature, may be used or not, and choice is given between a square sailor collar or one that is in round effect. In the full-length sleeve narrow tucks confine the fullness at the cuff, and reversed cuffs finish the shorter length. A removable shield is supplied, and this may be of the same material as the dress or of white goods. Seven gores are used for shaping the skirt which is in round length, and the closing is at the back underneath the inverted plait. The cover shows a pretty adaptation of the same pattern in blue with trimmings of white. Among the suitable materials suggested for making a costume of this kind are light-weight flannel, serge, cashmere, piqué, linen, chambray, gingham, cotton cheviot, mohair and pongee. Bands of contrasting material, or braid will be found serviceable for trimming. Any style of belt may be worn. The pattern is cut in five sizes, from 32 to 40 inches bust measure. Size 36 requires 8 3/4 yards of 36-inch material.

     Nos. 9644 – 9646 – Ladies’ Costume. – This charming summer gown is of light-blue cotton voile, but the pattern is suited to any thin material, lawn, organdie, dimity, Swiss, batiste, China silk, chiffon taffeta, grenadine, etc. The waist has a full front gathered into the pointed neck and blousing very slightly at the belt. But, if one prefers, it can be made high neck by the addition of a lace yoke and stock collar. The closing is formed in the center-back. The very graceful and stylish bertha is of the material, shirred to form a puff around the neck and buckles. The sleeves have a full puff effect at the tops, and, to match the bertha, are gathered to form another small puffing just above the shaped ruffle that falls over the elbow. The draped belt is of the same material. For quantity of material required for this design, see medium on this page.
     The skirt is cut with nine gores and is tucked to flounce depth, while every alternate gore consists of a shirred panel ending with a full flounce. For another view of this skirt and quantity of material required for its development, see medium on this page.

     4171 – Ladies’ Tucked Shirt-Waist.
     Pongee in a natural shade was used for making the shirt-waist illustrated on this page, which is a good model for serviceable wear. In the back, tucks are stitched to the waistline, while in the front all but two groups are finished at yoke depth, and the waist allowed to fall freely to the waistline. The closing is down the center front underneath a box-pleat, and small buttons are added for trimming. In the three-quarter length sleeve a band cuff edged with narrow lace gives a dainty finish, and when the full-length sleeve is chosen a deep cuff is provided. Any of the following materials are recommended for making: madras, linen, piqué, batiste, vesting, flannel, Sicilian, silk, and linen. The pattern is cut in six sizes, from 32 to 42 inches bust. Size 36 requires 3 1/4 yards of 32-inch material.
     (information below from May 1906, pg. 62)
     4089 – Ladies’ Three-Piece Skirt.
     Three gores, consisting of a broad front gore and two back goers, are employed in shaping the model illustrated here in a black and white mixed goods, machine stitching giving a neat tailor finish to the bottom. The closing is at the back underneath the inverted plait, and the pattern is in round length, though a shorter length may be easily adjusted by turning up the lower edge. A skirt of this kind will be found serviceable to wear as an odd skirt and my be made of almost any material, among which are ladies’ cloth, Venetian, prunella cloth, chiffon taffeta, peau de cygne, viyella, veiling, pongee, duck and piqué. Bias stitched bands, folds, braid or embroidery will combine well in making a more elaborate model. Page 7 portrays a white linen with heavy lace, while three bias bands of the material give additional ornamentation. The skirt is worn with jacket No. 4082. The pattern is cut in six sizes, from 22 to 32 inches waist measure. Size 26 requires 4 1/4 yards of 42-inch material.

The waist, which is very stylish and pretty and most becoming to the figure, is cut with a round yoke of allover lace. Below this the front fullness is laid in several lines of shirring and then gathered into the waist-line, where it blouses just slightly above the girdle. The closing is formed in the center-back, which has a lace yoke, and is shirred in the same manner as the front. The sleeves are  in the form of two puffs and are shirred at the end of each puff and trimmed with a band of beading through which black velvet baby ribbon is run. The same ribbon trims the lace yoke. For another view of this design and quantity of material required, see medium on this page.
     The skirt has a three-piece upper portion shirred to short yoke depth on each side of the front gore, which is stitched in tuck effect. The side portions are lengthened by a straight-gathered flounce.

     9526 – Ladies’ Empire Dress, in Sweep or Round Length; consisting of a Tuck or Cord Shirred Body, with High or Open Neck and Full-Length or Shorter Sleeves; and a Gathered or Plaited Two-Piece Circular Skirt.
     An Empire design of more than usual beauty is here illustrated in several developments of soft material with rich lace. A lining supports the body which has tuck or cord shirring, the puffs in front separating at the centre where tab extensions lap. The body is attached to a yoke topped by a standing collar, but which is omitted for the open effect, in this case shoulder straps are used to connect the backs and front. The sleeves have shirrings at the lower part, or the foundation may be in three-quarter length covered with frills, or faced to the wrist. The skirt, in two circular pieces seamed at the centre, may be gathered or plaited to the body. It is in sweep or round length and the lower edge measures about four yards and three-fourths in the medium sizes. The soft woolen and silk fabrics are suitable for this design.
     Dress 9526 is in 7 sizes, from 32 to 44 inches bust measure. For the medium size, it requires for dress not including ruffles, 11 yards of material 27 inches wide, with 1 1/2 yard of all-over lace. Price, 15 cents.

     8928 – Ladies’ Costume, in Long or Medium Sweep or Round Length, with or without the Trimming Ruffles: consisting of a Waist, with High, or Any Round Neck, Full-Length or Elbow Sleeves with or without the Frilled Caps, and a Jaquette that May Be Omitted: and a Five-Gored Skirt, Tucked or Shirred at the Top to Yoke Depth with Panel Effect in Front or Gathered All Around.
     Figured and plain voile and dotted eolienne, each with lace for trimming, are pictured in the illustrations of this graceful design. The body lining is essential for a foundation, and the closing is made inconspicuously at the back. When the waist is desired high in the neck, a shallow yoke topped by a standing collar is added. For a round neck this yoke is omitted, and the waist may be cut lower if desired. The full front at back are gathered and the jaquette is a novel but not essential feature. Gathers along the seam give a pretty draped effect to the sleeves, the lower part of which fit snugly, with plain or pointed wrist finish, or they may be cut off at the elbow. Linings support them, and frilled caps may be added. The frills on the waist are omissible.
     A panel effect is given the shirred or tucked skirt, or it may be gathered. Round length, or long or medium sweep may be given, the lower edge measuring in the medium sizes about four yards and three-fourths. Two or three ruffles are added if fancied.
     Forget-me-not blue cashmere will make up prettily with the jaquette of hunter’s-green velvet inset with lace motifs, and the yoke, collar and cuffs of embroidered white chiffon.
     Pattern 8928 is in 6 sizes from 32 to 42 inches bust measure. For the medium size, it requires 11 3/4 yards of material 27 inches wide, or 7 1/2 yards 44 inches wide, each with 7/8 yard of all-over lace, 1/4 yard of lace net, 18 1/2 yards of edging 6 inches deep for three ruffles to trim skirt, and 12 1/2 yards 2 inches deep to trim jaquette and caps. Price, 20 cents.
