NEW YORK FASHIONS Pattern For Lady's One Piece Dressing Sack
 by Martha Dean

In the pretty design for a dressing sack shown here simplicity and good taste combine to make 1t a most attractive model 1t is made in one piece and suit able for material alike on both sides. al- though, if one prefers. the collar in front and back might be faced if the material is not alike on either side The fullness of the front falls in pretty jabot style, and the fancy pointed collar slightly rip pies over the shoulders and back. The front IS made a little longer than the back, thus overcoming the tendency of making one look "dumpy,' as the ordi- nary dressing sacks do. The sleeve might be gathered into a band, although the flowing sleeve is very pretty. Ribbon run beading finishes the neck and bands of colored embroidery comprise the trim ming. Cotton or woolen craps is a most satisfactory material for sacks, and one can buy such pretty bands for 1t as we'll
