Suit; coat body and sleeve in one with vest; one-piece straight
overskirt; high waistline; one-piece foundation lengthened by
straight section, 40- or 38-inch length. Designed for 34 to 44 bust.

yard of contrasting. |
|
A panel front and
plaits on the sides show how smart a new frock can be in gabardine.
It is a splendid type of one-piece dress for a woman or young girl
for autumn wear with a scarf of fur cloth or velvet. It is an easy
style to make and to wear in tricotine, soft twills, gabardine,
serge, checks, jersey cloth, satin or charmeuse. The dress can be
made with a body lining or without it, as you prefer. |
|
Coat-dresses are
favored by many and when the design is a slip-on it is most
attractive. There is a choice of deep vest and high or low neck. The
narrow sash is very smart. Lower edge, 1 ¾ yards.
|
|
Charmeuse is used for
a frock (1428), that is made with square neck, deep vest front and a
straight peplum that gives a graceful flare at the hip of the narrow
skirt. It is splendid for a combination of materials or satin,
satin-faced poplin, crepe meteor or charmeuse along. The skirt is
straight.
|
|
A simple dress that is
very desirable for early Autumn tailored wear is made of serge and
finished with satin collar and undersleeve. The two-piece lower part
comes up in tabs over the sash, giving the well-liked one-piece
dress effect. The upper part has a becoming collar and a graceful
wide sleeve over the close under one. You can make this dress with a
body lining. Women and young girls use tricotine, serge, gabardine,
soft twills etc. |
|
The demand for more
width is met most satisfactorily by a tunic cut in two pieces. The
foundation skirt is in one piece and has a straight lower edge.
There is a camisole lining and another type and length of sleeve.
Both sleeves are made with the one-seam construction. For a silk
dress use satin, charmeuse, moiré, faille, taffeta, crepe de Chine
or crepe meteor. It is smart in tricotine, soft twills, gabardine,
serge, broadcloth or velveteen alone or with the foundation and
collar of satin. |
|
No. 8849, Ladies’
Chemise Dress; body and sleeve in one, to be slipped on over the
head; two-piece foundation lengthened by straight section; instep
length. Designed for 34 to 44 bust. 36 requires 3 1/8 yards of
45-inch and ½ yard of 36-inch contrasting. |
|
Here is the silk frock
that appears well at all but the most formal evening affairs (design
1382). The draped jumper and straight skirt are pretty for satin,
charmeuse, crepe meteor or crepe de Chine. |
|
Three ruffles and a
peplum are responsible for the attraction of design 1411. The jumper
gives the popular long blouse effect. The straight skirt is cut in
one piece, and the ruffles are straight. Bottom 1 ¼ yard. |
|
The example of
Parisian versatility in handling the one-piece dress is shown in a
tucked frock made with a vest and long collar. A few French houses
are making their vestees with high necks, something you can do here
if you wish, but the open V-line is much more becoming. This is a
charming dress for tricotine, soft twills, gabardine, serge,
broadcloth, satin, charmeuse, taffeta, crepe meteor or crepe de
Chine. It can be made with a body lining if you wish to use it. |
