THE CIRCULAR SKIRT.

things that the difference between am
ateur and skilled work consists. When
all the seams are firmly sewed togeth-
er, the edges are to be carefully trim
med of so that both sides are exactly
alike. Then the finishing of the bot
tom begins and is careful job. A bias
band of buckram Is tackled along the
inner part, and piece of silk or of the
same material as that on the outside Is
stitched on together. This is turned
up and basted to the inner side, and
the whole is pressed solidly after hav-
ing been moistened with a sponge.
When the final pressing is done, tie
silk may be hemmed down to the lin
ing.
The skirt preferred to wear with this
style of waist is what is generally
known as the circular skirt. 1t is cut
in three pieces only-the front breadth
and the two side ones. The front one
is cut on the length of the cloth, and if
it is possible it is cut so that the fold
comes in the middle of the front. This
makes handsome skirt, but unless of
extra firm stuff is apt TO sag at the
center of the two back breadths. To
cut the froIa take measure of the
length of the dress as it should be and
then from the fold in the middle meas
ure 10 inches on the double at the bot
tom and 8 at the top. This will give
10 inches at top and 20 at the bottom.
The two circular pieces are cut from
the open fold Of the cloth. The outer
line shows how the cloth should be
placed for the skirt to be cut out Of it..
The dotted line through the center
shows where the fold of the cloth
comes and that the two back seams
come on the bias. The two which are
to be sewed to the bias front breadth
are on the straight cross of the goods.
When the material is not wide enough
to cut the back breadths without piec-
ing, 1t is better to cut the goods from
the top down and piece It where the
crosses are marked.
