Careful changes here and there will
eliminate Objectionable features or make
them more becoming. In short, she must
use only the salient lines as a basis to
work on.
Bulk about the hips makes the 1880
skirt and horizontal trimmings unde-
sirable. for both will accentuate appar-
ent size. She may, however, have a
modified 1880 skirt with narrow front

scant fullneSs over the hips plated or
dart-fitted into the belt. Many ored
skirts are becoming. the long lines Civ

numerous seams are helpful in ADJUST

Plated skirts closely stitched down to

give the seasons. hail mark trim the
foot of the skirt with hem and tucks

This style of trimming is not objec-
tionable, but bands Of a contrasting

those about the waist, have a broaden
ing effect. and the stout figure must be
given height by long lines which run
