dresses, and is also very fashionable for ladies
| The front breadth is cut so broad that sid.
cores are not used, AS many seams would in
terfere with the shape Of the turned:up bant
| when the material is like on both sides, ant
| permits it to be merely turned up instead o
| being cut of, turned the other side And
| sewed to the button of the oyeSkirt If i,
difficult material is used for this band It i:
more effective, and is then simply faced or
the ;outerside OF the apron. The back breadth
may hang plain, but Is more fanciful if tied by
drapery. The 1urned.up band is sometime:
extended across the back widths also; wher
it is confined to the: front breadth, the trim
ming at the top should extend Gown the side:
Of the band. The round skirt has but one side
| gore and full back breadth. II should hang
evenly all erouna without dipping in the
back. The plated foupees are 4ore dess,
