No gown can fit satisfactorily unless
the garments worn beneath are made
and fitted with equal care. The excel
lent corset cover and petticoat illus
| trated have the merit of including no
unnecessary fullness and being designed
with direct reference to present styles.
The corset cover is fitted with shoul-
| der and under-arm seams. The back Is
smooth across the shoulders, drawn in
| at the waist line, the front is gathered
| slightly at the upper edge and drawn in
at the waist. AS shown, 1t is made Of
nainsook, with two rows of needlework
| insertion and finish Of beading
| through which narrow black velvet rib
| bon is run, but cambria or fine long
! cloth can be substituted il desired, and
] the trimming can be made more or less
elaborate to suit the taste. The essen
tlal features of the design are the per-
!
| accomplished by the portion which ex-
| tends below the waist line, and which is
not full enough to mean noticeable in
| crease in size.
The petticoat is cut with front and
side cores, and straight back, a COM
| bination that means perfect hanging
skirt after laundering as we'll as before.
| 1t is snugly fitted at the upper portion,
| strengthened by a pointed yoke at the
front, and arranged, to be drawn up at
the back to any size desired. At the
edge of the skirt proper is attached a
narrow, straight frill, which gives addi-
tional freedom TO the feet. Over the
skirt, slightly below the knees, falls a
! double flounce, which, as illustrated, is
half Of the material, half of embroidered
edging, the seam that joins the two be-
| ing concealed by band of insertion AS
the model shows, the founce falls over
the narrow frill, but not to it's extreme
edge, practical point that Is well to
bear in mind. Every woman has suf-
fered from edges that fray while the
remainder of the garment is in good
condition. This simple device means
that wear will fall upon the exposed edge
and that the narrow plain frill will be
all that it is necessary to renew Main

lin are all suitable for white cotton

is desired in silk, as we'll as. moreen,
brilliantine and sateen. In the latter
case the lower flounce should be plisse
to give the best effect, and, If possible,
finished with a narrow pinked ruche
The style shown, with the embroidered
Aounce, is emfnently smart for cotton
skirts. but plain flounce can be substi-
tuted If preferred, but when long cloth
or muslin are used for the skirt proper
cambria should be used for the flounce.
To cut this corset cover for lady of
medium size, 1 yard of material 36
inches wide will be required; to cut the
skirt 6 yards 36 inches wide, or 9A
yards of silk 81 inches wide will be re-
quired.
