In the combination suit Figure y
the spray Of iris is used singly, one
motif on each side of the front and
one on each side OF the drawers.
The concave scallop adapts itself to
the curve of the front and back neck
line. In the centre OF the front the
scallop is made TO reverse, as shown
in the illustration, so as TO make the
sides uniform.
A straight chemise also could be
embroidered in this way and the

edge and eliminating the Sits.
Iris Motifs Form Band.

The sir irhtc fomccs Wbich trim
the skirt of this ,rhitc tafeta trort
stop m tho fronts centre.
irock in rose colored taffeta would
be perfect replica OF one launched
in 1861. with the exception that
placed beside it the 1914 creation
would look like a bean pole. Eight
little founces in white tulle trim the
modern skirt and, while they gradu-
ate in size, the broadest one, set on
between knees and ankles, is not
noticeably wider than the topmost
one, which runs under a deep girdle
in old blue silk.
Bodices Differ from Olden Style.
In no way, however, does the
bodice OF this itock suggest any OF
those worn in the COS. Between
girdle top and under arm level it is
blouse in white lace, yelled with
the same lengths OF tulle, which in
crossing the shoulders form sleeve
caps. Over both lace and tulle is a
trimming OF double strands OF blue
ribbon, twice crossed above the
waist. One Of these strands also
outlines decolletage OF pointed
shape, vastly unlike the straight
scross-the- shoulders cut which was
q marked feature OF the evening
gowns launched during the Civil
War.
Six white lace founces Of almost
even width trim the skirt OF white
tafeta irock. A popularity about
the arrangement OF these Hounces is
that instead OF running entirely
around the figure the ends Of each
strip stop at either side OF the
fronts centre. The distance be-
tween the ends is so graduated that
while the uppermost ruffle shows
tour inches Of the tafeta skirt, the
hnsl ruffie is almost Joined at It's
lover edge. and the point is orna-
mented With tiny buttons. Thus
placed they form a sharp v and en-
phaslze the shape OF the skirt, which
follows that Of the hgure-wide at

the upper one acquires straight top
line because over it is drawn an ex-
aggerated deep hip girdle in char
meuse. From under this girdle, at
the left side, starts garland OF vel
low roses. which trims the upper
founces diagonally at back and
front.
Above the top edge Of the girdle
flares a four inch wide tulle pleating,
which marks the normal waistline.
Under this run the tulle drapings OF
the bodice, the sleeves OF which are
merely headed Fittings of the gauze.
These frills, crossing the back, make

shape contrasts oddly with the

roses.
