Deep tucks are much used In place
of other trimming. They are arranged
In all sorts of ways. It Is difficult to
make wide tucks on gored or circular
skirts on account of the fulness which
comes under the tuck. To properly
distribute this, the width of the tuck
must be marked off below the mark
for the fold edge of the tuck. On this
mark make a row Of fine stirring all
the way round the skirt. Then haste
the fold edge Of he tuck along tho

the tuck has been stitched the stirring
