women is seldom bought ready made.

ers themselves or has come to them by

an expensive purchase. The chemise,
long enough to form skirt, is very
richly embroidered about the bottom in
silk. and the two jackets OF white cloth
are elaborate. These are sleeveless,
but fine pair of embroidered sleeves
makes separate part Of the dress
Silver ornaments for the head, neck
