Remodeling
Old Clothes
THE PRESENT FASHIONS ARE
VERY KIND IN THIS RESPECT.

SURELY with the present skinny
modes the ordinarily clever girl
ought to be able to economize a bit
IN the spring and remodel her old
frocks.
Take that tailor made with the pIait-
ed skirt, for instance. The plaits can
be ripped out carefully. sponged and
pressed, and this leaves skirt so wide
that the badly spotted center gore may
be left out and the skirt made up with
four instead of ave cores.
BY the way, the new sISirts are al
most all four gored, and the cores are
the same width instead OF the front
gore being narrower. S was generally
tho case in former years.
OF course any skirt which is too short
may be heightened by the addition of
band OF satin OF contrasting color.
This should also appear. however, in
the belt and yoke
III the sleeves show signs Of perspIra-
ton new sleeves may be .ade from the
width taken out Of the skirt.
II it is not desirable to rip I'D the
skirt the fullness may be gathered into
tight hem or II may be gathered from
each side Of the front gore straight
across the back.
Tight sleeves may be taLen out al.
together and contrasting ones of lace
or embroidery added in.
Armholes that are badly worn mar
be renovated by means of kimonc
sleeve effects.
Guimpe and deep V Thsped yoke ef.
ftcts may let out tight waists and
those worn thin across the back.
Last and not least. skirt too tight
around the hips may be raised into
high girdle and thus mada al easier fit
the lower edge being heightened by :.
hem OF velvet
