save in adding to the grace of the
garment This corset cover is Joined to
the drawers at the waist line by line
Of veining or beading
The drawers are usually fitted smoothly
/, in yoke over the hips, and below the
4 fullness is set on The yoke in deep wide
plalts flaring toward the bottom. Some
times the drawers are gored and plait-
ed over the hips and trimmed at bot
tom with deep ftounces. The drawer
legs are usually opened for some dis
tance UP the sides at the bottom and
the trimming, turning, runs UP the
sides, bows of ribbon being set at the
top Of the opening.
/ AS has been said, these drawers at
tain the width of pctticoat and fall
like a divided skirt, the graceful full
ness concealing their bifurcated char
acter. Some of the princesse models are
simply trimmed with lines Of inset val
enciennes and frills of the same and
with tiny tucks; but others are Of most
elaborate design.
One corset cover and skirt model has
a princesse panel, hand embroidered
down the front, while ribbon run
through heading forms a glrdle around
sides and back Another corset cover
and skirt combination has girdle of
two ribbons running under straps of
lace
Occasionally one sees one of these
combination models with the corset
cover much trimmed and a skirt of. the
simplest sort, gored, smoothly fitted
over the hips and finished by shaped
nounce set on the skirt with line Of
reihings and very simply trimmed on
the bottom There are TOO, combina-
tions Of the slip order which have
smoothly fitted corset covers without
any fullness and short skirts clinging
closely save for scant flouncing at the
| bottom,
These are. Of course, not the pretty
and becoming undergarments that the
fuller and more fluffy combinations are,
/ but they are better for some figures
and under slime frocks,
/ Separate corset covers designs as
bust supporters for women who need
such support are made of rather firm
and stout lawn or English nainsook, fit
closely and smoothly in front, with
the seams joined by refining, and have
long, taperlng ends which cross in the
back and some back to the waistline In
front These hold the bust firmly, yet
are not uncomfortable and when pref
tily trimmed are not 'unattractive corset
covers,
The chemise is not so popular as it
was a few seasons ago because its ex-
ira fulness is at variance with the
prevailing desire for smooth and cling
ing lines. It is, however, too pretty
and becoming a garment to be given
up altogether, and many women not
given to extremes still wear the chem
Use
The French models are so cut with a
scam down the middle Of the back that
they really have little extra fullness
save in front and the material used it
50 sheer and soft that even this extra
/ fullness is hardly perceptible under a
gown or blouse. The separate corset
cover is usually softly fulled into line
OF beading at the waist line and below
that there is merely a fiat, fitted, skirt
OF a few inches in depth.
Drawers are fitted smoothly around
! the hips by darts and must by no
means be punched up on drawstrings.
The same rule applies to petticoats.
Ready made garments are made with
these strings and fullness in order
that they may adapt themselves to
many figures, but the garments should
be carefully fitted and all waistband
! fullness eliminated after they are
bought Drawers are very wide and
full, but must be SO soft are very wide
and full, but must be so soft that this
width and fullness will not be clumsy
under a petticoat and frock.
