Ny idea would BE- to rip the fronts of the waist,
and then pintuek solidy TO yoke Depth making a
short square yoke chemisette fashion, Of the lace,
The back fancy, will answer as it is The sleeves
will probably not be quite such an easy matter, At
the Same time, anything that is quite fancfu may be
saoptad seeing that you have waist to match skirt
above elbow, and slash them upwards ON tho upper
part OF arm to armhole; then lay In puff sleeves Of
any any thin material You may have something hand
that would answer. As to shade, either gray, black
white may be used, while, in regard to material
net plain or spotted thin silk lace chiffon or nous
SEINE DC sole may be employed, or, If you have any
pieces Of the cloth left slash the silk sleeves and in
sert wedgeshaped pieces Of the cloth and gather into
q cuff, lace matching chemsette or of the silk, as
found practicable. Either mode will bring your waist
up to date.
In regard to your hair, should part 1t, then hut,
little, and roll back softly from the face drawing
up to the crown of the head and eoiling forming
figure eight there.
