WITH INVERTED PLAT, GATHERS OR
HABIT BACK. WITH OR WITHOUT YOKE
AND FRILL.
Under petticoats are among the useful
garments always in demand. This one is
closely fitted, meaning neither bulk nor
fullness. 1t can be made with or without
q yoke but, in either case, it fits with per-
feet smoothness. Women who want a
perfectly smooth effect will like the habit
back, but there are many who require a
slight tullness even for the present fashions
Ind for these, the inverted plat or gathers
tar be used. Frills of lace and embroidery
always make a dainty finish but just now
there is a tendency to finish under-gar-
ments without frills at the lower edge and
scallops with a few dots at the lower edge
are always pretty and are exceedingly
fashionable. The petticoat is made in five
cores, is under-faced at the upper edge
and closed invisibly at the back.
The quantity Of material required for
the medium size is 10 yards SO, 2 yards a.
with 40 yards of embroidery and 2 yards
of banding.
