DATHER as a suggestion than as
~ copies to be exactly followed, these
two dresses designed for little girls
are shown here. American adapta-
lions of French clothes for children
usually show greater length of skirt
and somewhat more fullness than the
original designs. The little dress de-
signed for the tiny girl is SO plain in
the body as to be boyish, but the
fancy decoration in shocked silk on
sleeves and collar, and the putting of
the sleeves, places it as girls dress.
The material used Is a checked vel
veteen. The little garment is cut with
q long shoulder and made over mus
lin body. The back is plain, but the
front is cut wide enough to be gath
cred into scant fullness along the
shoulder seams and about the neck.
The shoulders extend over the sleeves,
which are set into the body. There
is a narrow collar extending from
shoulder to shoulder. This is made
on plain silk foundation covered
with shocking of the same silk and
finished with narrow soutache braid
about the edge and along the center.
A decoration of the same sort is
placed across the pu1fed sleeve and
finishes it at the bottom. Two short
straps of the material of the dress
