The cadet waist, open in the centre and buttoning at the throat, makes it indispensable that some under dress should be worn, and riding habits are made in the same style. No. 1 is embroidered muslin, and is intended for a dress not confined at the throat. No. 2 can be worn in the same way, or with a cadet waist. The same goes around the neck.
Insertion is placed between the plaits.
3 is, perhaps, the most tasteful of all. Puffs of fine Swiss muslin, between embroidered insertion, rounding slightly on the bust, and finished by a small collar coming close to the throat. No. 4 differs from the second only in having no insertion between the plaits, and uniting a small collar with the ruffle, which is put on very nearly plain. Either pattern is graceful, and may be worn with a silk, Cashmere, or Merino dress.
