About Sleeves.

Although the long sleeves, which
are the style this season, are pretty
and a welcome change from the short
full sleeves which were the style for
30 many seasons, there is one draw
back to them-namely: That they
give one a narrow effect across the
shoulders. Women with narrow Shout
ders and a fiat chest look extremely
narrow and thin in these tight sleeves:
To a small extent. this appearance may
be done away with.
Most of the sleeves have a slight
fullness at the top of the arm, and
when gathering this fullness stitch
the top of the sleeve with two rows
of machine stitching about quarter
of an inch apart When sewing the
sleeve into the waist sew along the
line of the first stitching and leave the
other row to show at the top Of the
sleeve. This will give a pretty tall
ored finish to the top of the sleeve
and will hold the top of the sleeve
firmly up so that 1t win give an inch
or so on each side to the width OF the
shoulders. You will be surprised to
note how this adds to the appearance
of waist.
