The bands ended in the folds at the side back The sleeves were very full and dropping with only few gathers or small plaits at the top,
 Tn contrast to this. style. and show ing something of the inconsistencies allowed, was an equally smart costume accompanying this, worn by a woman nearly six feet tall, but 1t was plain to sec she gloried in her height, for every detail of her dress was evidently made to accentuate it.
 The skirt was perfectly plain, barely l touching the ground in round length, while the coat three-quarters length on the sides, ran to a deep point and front, fitting very snugly, except below the hips, where there was ali exaggerated 1 fulness. The sleeves, cut with the body part were in cape effect, with tlgthly puffed undersleeves reaching just be- low the elbow to meet the long gloves, The collar was flat and slightly pointed in back, so that the choker-like collar of the blouse underneath the coat add ed it's part to the tall, slim effect" Incidentally, the choker is to be re- sumed.
