THE BoRDERED FABRICS.
Detailed Instructions of How to Cut and
Use Them.


| Use Them.
| Among the later goods of the season,
borders are shown on every grade of stu IF
from costly silk to simple challies, so that
every woman who keeps apace with the
styles will have at least one bordered
gown if no more.
These stuffs are made into house gowns,
J street gowns and ball gowns, and they
, take as many colors and varieties as one
can imagine, and yet in them all rules
hold good and some fundamental prin-
ciples must be obeyed. So, if you deter
mine to make up any one of the tempting
ia brlcs take care that you start Alright and
that you do not make the fatal mistake of
trying to use the material after any FASH
lon but that for which it is designed.
Although the borders are many and the
colors various all goods of the kind can
easily be classed into two sorts-those
with narrow edges and those with wide;
and upon which of the two you select
will depend the style of your gown and
the use OF tn = trimming the stuff supplies.
If you buy the wide bordered goods
your skirt must be straight with the
trimming as finish at the foot. II you
buy the narrow bordered fabric your
skirt may be straight or gored as you
prefer. With either you may have the
double skirt effect or the triple overskirt.
With the wide bordered goods the bor-
der makes the edge, though have seen it
cut off and sown on eighteen inches from
the bottom. With the narrow the border
is torn off and used as fat bands to be
sewed on after the skirt is made.
In making up any one of these ssrobes''
printed or embroidered, which are the
handsomest OF all the bordered stuffs,
you will find sufficient lenght of wide
bordering for your skirt, and OF the mar
row for the trimming of bodice and
sleeves, so that your task will be COM
those that are sold by the yard discretion
will be required.
THE WIDE UNDER SKIRT.
Make a straight round skirt four yards
wide or thereabouts. The width is suf-
clear the ground the whole way round.
Throw the greater part of the fitness to
the back. Slight goring biases can be
taken under plaits or among gathers at
the front and sides, and if one's figure
demands it you can face the skirt with
hair-cloth half yard deep, to give it a
slight crinoline effect, or if you dislike
that amount of stiffness use only linen
facing. In either case line the skirt
Throughout with silk, or with sateen, as
you prefer.
THE NARROW BORDER SKIRT.
In case of narrow borders you can pro-
duce several of the skirt effects now in
fashion. You can place one at the foot
directly on the edge, ard as many as your
quantity OF bordering affords above it,
the width of the border apart; this is the
effect best suited to the full round folds
into which skirts now fall.
Or you can have border at the foot
and one more half way up the skirt.
Or you can arrange the bands in groups.
With the narrow borders you can cut
your skirt full and straights or gored.
THE WIDE BORDER BODICE.
The illustration shoWA an effective
style. Make the cuff of the fuIl sleeve
from the border; also the broad soft fold
ing bretelles and neck band. Cut the
bretelles straight.
If you like a jacket effect you can make
the jacket of the plain goods and use the
border for the full waist, crash belt and
collar and sleeves. The universal full
ness, shirring and puff1ngs, conceal all
stitching SO that lengths OF border can
be disposed properly if needed for the full
waist and sleeves. 81
With little ingenuity you can use
your border in several of the prevailing
styles.
NARRow-BoRDER RoDIcEs.
Charming yoke effects can be arranged
with narrow borders, both round and
pointed.
Pretty waist and sleeves can be made
with pufings of the plain goods between
lengths of border, if the material is thin
fabric, and the border very narrow.
Or straight bretelles of the plain goods,
full or sloped, may be edged with the
bordering, in the one case the sleeve with
elbow frills is suitable, the frills edged
with the bordering;.in the other band the
cuffs with border.
