     4589 – Ladies’ Two-Piece Costume
     The Eton model is conspicuous again among the autumn showings for outdoor costumes. The tapering pleat from the shoulder to the lower edge of the accompanying design contributes slenderness to the waist and makes a jacket suited to any figure. It may have the full three-quarter sleeve poplar for dressy wear, or the long model better suited to a utility garment. The coat is simply shaped. The tapering pleats are a part of the fronts and back and conceal the joining of these portions with the side-fronts and side-back. The nine-gored skirt is in round length with an inverted pleat at the back and measures 4 1/2 yards at the hem in the medium size. Alice-blue canvas cloth was used for the costume as shown here and black Hercules braid and a collar-facing of black Ottoman silk formed the simple decoration. Tiny loops of narrow braid extending a little way from the wider trimming on the shoulders, fronts and cuffs gave an additional smart touch. The design offers great latitude in the choice of material and decoration. Broadcloth, Panama, brilliantine, checked or striped wool mixtures, novelty suiting, cheviot, serge and tweed are a few suitable fabrics which may be trimmed with galloons, braids in graduated widths or stitched bands of the material or silk. The pattern is cut in five sizes, from 32 to 40 inches bust measure. 6 1/2 yards of 42-icnh goods or 5 /12 yards of 54-inch fabrics are necessary for the two-piece suit in the medium size; 3/8 yard or 21-inch silk is essential for the collar-facing and 1 piece of braid for the trimming.

     4558 – Ladies’ Coat
     The modish model shown here was made up with excellent results in gray whipcord. The seamless back extends to the armhole, where it is stitched in a deep tuck which tapers to the waistline and contributes width to the shoulders and slimness to the waist. The fronts, which are similarly tucked, lap and close invisibly, a shawl collar which may be faced with silk or velvet finishing the neck. The fullness at the top of the two-piece sleeve may be adjusted by stitched tucks or gathers, a shaped reversed cuff affording the finish at the hand. The model, which may be cut off at the hip, provides also for a short three-quarter length which gives height to a short figure. Chiffon broadcloth, canvas-cloth, herring-bone cheviot, serge, mohair and suitings, all make up satisfactorily after this design. The pattern is cut in six sizes, from 32 to 42 inches bust measure. The medium size requires 4 yards of 42-inch material, or 3 1/4 yards of 54-inch goods.
     (information below from August pg. 48)
     4539 – Ladies’ Side-Pleated Skirt
    
The skirt illustrated here is cut in one piece, the side pleats regulating the fullness. It fits smoothly over the hips, a belt the required size adjusting it at the waistline. The bottom is finished with a hem, and because of its straight lower edge flouncings and bordered materials are admirably adapted for developing the model. It measures about 4 1/2 yards at the lower edge with the pleats drawn out. A dainty skirt for summer wear is of pale blue handkerchief linen with a deep border of embroidery, and is worn with a waist of the same material showing elaborate embroidery to correspond. Materials suggested for making are batiste, Swiss, marquisette, veiling, linen, chambray or mohair. A panel of handwork in either eyelet or Hardaugen embroidery may be applied on the front of this skirt, which should be worn with a waist of the same material decorated in a similar manner. The pattern is cut in four sizes, from 22 to 28 inches waist measure. The medium size requires 6 1/2 yards of 36-inch, or 5 1/2 yards of 44-icnh material, or, if flouncing is used, 4 5/8 yards 45 inches wide will be required.

     2317 – Ladies’ Eton Jacket
    
Alice-blue broadcloth combined with miroir velvet and further decorated with appliqué developed this very stylish jacket.
     The model is a loose Eton variety, a perfect fit being insured by making the dart tucks at the shoulders. The vest sections are a pleasing feature of this garment as well as the gracefully shaped cape which need not, however, be adopted unless becoming or desirable. The neck is finished with a rolling collar and the sleeve may be in either full or shorter length as preferred. The applied cuff is a stylish and very becoming adjunct.
      Plain cloth, serge, cheviot, piqué, linen, duck, cotton cheviot and poplar cloth will develop this model effectively, braid, embroidered and lace banding or machine stitching forming the trimming for the capes and the front.

     2314 – Ladies’ Eight-Gored Skirt in Short Round, Instep or Shorter Length
     The plaited skirt continues as popular as ever, and the model here presented is an especially stylish and attractive one, the arrangement of the material giving the effect of box plaits alternating with side plaits. The plaits are stitched down to deep yoke depth only expanding gracefully at the foot, where the skirt may be finished in short round, instep or shorter length. The skirt as picture is developed in white linen. Other materials insuring satisfactory results are plain cloth, serge, cheviot, cashmere, pique, duck, chambray or madras. Braid, lace, embroidery or machine stitching may form the trimming, as desired.

     Nos. 1608 – 1598. – Lavender and white striped wash silk was used to make the gown shown at the right of the colored plate.

If desired, the neck can be cut out in the round Dutch style and the front of the waist faced with lace in vest effect beneath which the required quantity of material will be found.

     1027. Ladies’ Tucked Blouse-Jacket, with or without the peplum
     In the modish blouse-jacket here shown, the tucks turn toward the armholes, and the shape of the fronts is such that they slope toward the center at the waistline. The straight front edges lap at the closing and give an open neck in V-outline which sometimes has the addition of a flat collar facing. Tucks in the back are also brought closer together at the lower edge under a fancy belt, or a peplum in hip length may be plaited below each group of tucks in the blouse, and an inverted box plait is arranged at each side seam and at the center of the back. The puffed upper part of the sleeves is completed with a band when in short length, and the lining is faced with the jacket material to wrist depth, if full length is desired. Deep sleeve-cap sections are open to the shoulders and shaped bands are applied along the lower edges which are rounded. A body lining is provided.
     Blouse-Jacket 1027 is in 6 sizes, from 32 to 42 inches bust measure. For the medium size, it requires for outside of jacket 5 3/8 yards of material 27 inches wide, with 1 1/8 yard of silk 20 inches wide for pipings and to inlay collar facing, etc., for lining, 3 3/8 yards 20 inches wide.

     The waist of this costume is tucked both at the front and back. A standing collar affords neck completion, and a flat fancy collar with tab ends is also included. Deep or shallower cuffs finish the long sleeves and wide cuffs, open on the outside, turn back over the shorter sleeves.
     The skirt has nine gores, and each seam is concealed by a plait on the back edge of each gore. The lower edge measures about five yards and one-half in the middle sizes, and either clearing or shorter length may be adopted.

     9903. Ladies’ Two-Piece Costume, in sweep or clearing length: consisting of a tucked Blouse-Eton, with three-quarter length sleeves; and a four-piece skirt.
     This modish costume shows an over-blouse supported by a plain blouse, the former being shaped by dart-tucks that cross the shoulders, and the usual seams. The tab extensions in the back, at each side and at the closing edges in front are caught to the belt, but may be cut off, and the lower edge of the blouse is curved upward between them. All the edges may be outlined with a narrow velvet fold, appliqué or braid. Both the under-sleeve and over-sleeve are sewed into the armhole of the under-blouse, and the seam is hidden by the long shoulders of the over-blouse. The three-quarter length under-sleeve is plain; and the over-sleeve consists of a full upper part, dart-tucked at each side, and a plain under part in one with the band that encircles and finishes the lower edge. The plaits in the four-piece skirt form an inverted box plait at each side seam, and a group in the front and back facing the center are laid close together at the top where they are stitched. They are pressed to the lower edge, which attains a measurement of about five yards and one-fourth in the medium sizes. Provision is made for sweep or clearing length. Folds with mitered joinings may trim the skirt if desired.
     Costume 9903 is in 7 sizes, from 32 to 44 inches bust measure. For the medium size, it requires 12 1/4 yards of material 27 inches wide, with 2 3/4 yards of silk 20 inches wide, for full-fronts, full-back and under-sleeves. Price, 15 cents.

     1562. Ladies’ Waist, with over-blouse
     In the waist here illustrated, the over-blouse and sleeves are in one, seamed under the arms and at the center of the back; the full front is attached to the shallow circular yoke, and is dart-fitted both waist and over-blouse closing in the back. The full sleeves are gathered into bands at the elbow, unless deep cuffs are used to extend them to wrist depth. This excellent design can be made very attractive in a heavy lace for the over-blouse, with the full front and under sleeves of soft mousseline; linen, silk or cloth can also be adapted with bands of inserted lace, embroidery or braid.
     Waist 1562 is in 6 sizes, from 32 to 42 inches bust measure. For the medium size, it requires 2 1/8 yards of rajah 27 inches wide, or 2 7/8 yards of lace 18 inches wide, with 2 1/8 yards of plain silk for center front and full sleeves; or one material it needs 4 1/8 yards 20 inches wide, or 3 5/8 yards 27 inches wide, or 2 1/8 yards 44 inches wide, each with 7/8 yard of lace and 3/4 yard of silk. Price, 15 cents.
     1523. Ladies’ One or Two Piece Skirt
    
There is a certain grace imparted by a circular skirt that is very pleasing. The design here illustrated may have only a center-back seam, where the placket is made, or, if made in two-piece style, a seam will also occur at the center of the front. Dart-tucks may be used if a fitted effect is desired over the hips; otherwise, the fullness is disposed in gathers. With the darts an inverted box plait at the back is used. The skirt in round length measures about four yards and three-fourths at the lower edge in the medium size.
     Skirt 1523 is in 8 sizes, from 20 to 34 inches waist measure. For 24 inches waist, the one-piece skirt with sweep requires 7 3/4 yards 20 inches wide; in round length, 3 1/2 yards 50 inches wide. The two-piece skirt with sweep will need 7 1/8 yards 27 inches wide; in round length, 4 1/8 yards 44 inches wide. Price, 15 cents.

     Ladies’ Toilette.
     2643 – Ladies’ Cord-Shirred Waist
    
The center one in this group of dainty blouses is another model especially to be recommended for rather slender figures, for whom shirrings and tucks are both graceful and desirable. The back view with high neck and long sleeves and developed in peau de cygne with all-over Irish crochet lace will make a dainty theater blouse.
     Ladies’ waist 2643 is in 5 sizes, from 32 to 40 inches bust measure, price 15 cents. The 36-inch size requires 4 5/8 yards of material 22 inches wide, 2 7/8 yards 36 inches or 2 1/2 yards 44 inches, with 1/2 yard of 18 inch all-over lace.
     2636 – Ladies’ Shirred Skirt, In Short Sweep or Round Length (Consisting of Two Circular Sections Joined Together and Lengthened by a Straight Flounce)
     The skirt here illustrated is an especially dainty design for dressy wear and will develop most effectively in light-weight fabrics, such as mull, crepe de Chine, mousseline, and other diaphanous fabrics, also in albatross, wool batiste, and China silk.
     The model is most effective, the graduated depth of the two circular skirt sections and of the flounce forming a pleasing and novel arrangement.
     Ladies’ skirt 2636 is in 6 sizes, from 22 to 32 inches waist, corresponding to 39 to 53 inches hip measure, price 15 cents. The 24-inch waist size requires 11 3/8 yards of material 22 inches wide; 7 1/2 yards 36 inches, or 6 1/2 yards 44 inches, with 5 3/8 yards of braid. Lower edge 5 1/4 yards.
