ends OF which are folded under the wide
girdle. the satin being tackled in folds to

ends run up and down instead OF across.
The garment opens at the left under the
girdle and the crossing surplice OF the
TOP folds, and Is exceedingly easy TO
don or don.
over this foundation robe is worn a
tunic of pale pink chiffon trimmed with
lace ruffies and chiffon roses in different
shades OF pink. This tunic Is shaped
much as a kimOnO would be Ii the
sleeves were cut out half length and
/ then laid In deep plaits at the top
following the armhole and the skirts
were slashed up to a point above the
waist line, so that instead Of skirt

armhOles and the other at point Oppo-
site the bottom OF the lower edge OF the
empire gtrdle OF the foundation robe.
In siashing up this chiffon cloth enough

Nalenciennes lace. There was a wide
panel in the center back. one at each
side OF this, and one each side OF the
front On each shoulder where the over
tuntc was laid IN plaits were sprays OF
the shaded pink chiffon roses. a cluster
near the neck at each side, and another

the foundation robe were deep fuffs OF
dotted white Brussels net This net was
arranged by taking a section OF the ma
terial, plating each end In plaits piled
on top OF each. and then fastening one
set at the shoulder on top and the other
underneath. The lower edges OF these
plated sections fell In loose fiunfs far
below the elbows when the arms were
raised.
Lace rurfles finished the edge OF the
tunic over sleeve. or what served as
sleeve. Really the tuntc was sleeveless.
Sprays OF the chiffon flowers were ap-
Pliqued irregularly on each panel but
that at the center back. They were fas-
tened at the side and al the top and bot

Under the edges Of the skirt portion
of this robe Is a removable lingerie

wide enough TO protect the entire trail

out from the feet. and the two lace
TufIles set on the extreme edge peep
out from under the robes edge and

the inside
