either plain or brocaded, and trimmed
with lace round the top. and sometimes
silk embroidery. The large hook to re-
tain the petticoats is often in gold or gold
set with jewels. Sometimes the small
under-petticOat is made of the same mate
rial as the corset, and in winter is lined
with flannel.
The cache corset or petticoat bodice,
is occasionally Of the same silk, but more
usually of white batiste or surah, with
lace and insertion, often in the shape of
a small figaro without epaulettes, and a
runner round the top to keep it onto the
stays; or else the fchu form, cut in one
piece and tying in front
Drawers are worn very short, just above
the knee, and are made of the same mate
rial as the chemises and equally richly
trimmed. BY means of pleats they fit
closely on the hips, but are wide at the
end, slightly rounded off on the outer side,
and finished with a bow of ribbon above
the lace or frilis.
