No. 8570, Ladies’ Coat
Suit; coat in 35 or 30 inch length; four-gored skirt; 40-inch
length. Size 36 requires 3 7/8 yards of 54-inch material. The width
around the lower edge is 2 yards. Smart tailored suit. |

Simple lines are best
when they define a new one-piece frock of soft pongee silk (design
1005). The dress slips on over the head so that there is an easy way
in and out of it. The little vest front of light Georgette is
extremely smart – and always lightens a colored frock and makes it
more becoming. The long narrow collar follows the slender lines of
the dress and makes it youthful and graceful looking for the young
girl too. The dress is excellent in gingham, chambray, cotton
poplin, cotton gabardine, Indian Head, satin, taffeta, charmeuse or
shantung. Lower edge measures 1 ¾ yard. |
|
An attractive dress
with the collar arranged in a very pretty style. The skirt is
unusually smart. This dress could be worn for many occasions. The
skirt may be 38 inches or shorter. Lower edge 2 yards. |
|
This Highland lassie
simply breezes in with the scent of heather on her. Who would not be
able to brave any weather with this outfit? The large roomy packets
hold what one needs when hiking. The jaunty hat is kept on by one’s
own ability to place it. |
|
Fancy-colored
ginghams are one of the most popular ways of showing our
appreciation of warm summer days. This is one of the simplest
designs of the season. The blouse closes at the left side. This
design lends itself to a combination of material which is so popular
now. The lower edge of the two-piece skirt measures 1 5/8 yards. |
|
Basque and tunic are
complementary forces that bring distinction to a frock of foulard
and Georgette (design 9986). The long jumper in basque effect is
draped prettily to the figure, and a straight lower edge simplifies
the tunic. The foundation skirt is cut in two pieces with the
waistline at regulation depth. Combine satin, charmeuse, crepe de
Chine, crepe meteor, taffeta or silk gingham with silk crepe or silk
voile. |
|
Thrice belted is
thrice blessed in design 9990, one of the delightful new shirt-waist
dresses – so popular this Summer – that are being worn by women and
young girls alike. The vest front is very smart and in white trims a
colored frock most effectively. The sleeve has one seam. A straight
lower edge gives you a skirt that is very easy to make. Use gingham,
chambray, cotton voile, dimity, batiste, lawn, silk gingham, crepe
de Chine, foulard, wash satin or crepe meteor. Lower edge measures 2
yards. |
|
Closely allied
to warm weather is a lingerie frock (design 9862) worn over a new
slip (design 9842). The dress has the long blouse that is so popular
and is quite lovely in light materials like silk crepe, silk voile,
chiffon cloth, net, lace, crepe de Chine, crepe meteor or messaline.
The blouse has a straight edge and the skirt is two-pieced. |
|
Simplicity gets more
interesting every day and is quite unusual in a new frock of
raspberry-colored printed crepe banded with velvet (design 9719).
The dress is one-pieced and has splendid lines for soft materials.
The draped sides are very graceful with the soft sash arrangement.
The dress is gathered to the round yoke and closes at the left
shoulder and underarm seam. The round neck is charming, if it is
becoming, but for the girl or older woman who feels that she can not
wear it, a collar is provided. The dark velvet at the neck and
slipping through at the front is effective, and the velvet banding
at the hem and on the flowing sleeves is pretty. A body lining is
given and an under, close-fitting sleeve may be used with the
flowing one, or alone. Silk crepe, silk voile, silk marquisette,
chiffon cloth, crepe de Chine, crepe meteor, satin, taffeta and
charmeuse are soft materials for these lines. |
