HOME DRESSMAKING

often. and a less expensive piece is quite
as effective.
The skirt of this costume is the strik-
ing feature OF the model. II is a little
difficult to tell the amateur just how
to ,btain the bulged hip effect pictured.
AS 1t is an advanced design, and II is
difficult to get pattern that would be
anything like ii. the best way to go
about making the skirt is to take two
widths of the material and seam them
over the hips. The goods must be cut
at least a quarter of a yard longer than
the dress is to be when finished, in order
TO give ample material to work with, and
also to follow for the hip drapery.

waist and the material pinned to II at
the center back. About four inches from
this point on either side. a deep plat
is made turning toward the front The
goods first having been slit the fun

turned. il is pulled up at the front so
as to bring II very close to the feet at
the lower edge and so far 1t is arranged
much in the same way as the skirt of
the wedding gown. but in the hip dra-
perry it differs considerably. The seams
at the sides are taken and pinned to
the belt on each side, Just under the
arms, at 4 distance from the top that
will allow the goods to fall as pictured.

both back and front of the point where
the seam is pinned. The material is
then stitched to the belt, and the front
and lower edge hemmed. The waist and
skirt is then Joined, and the dress finished
with a soft girdle of the goods. At the
back there are two short ends and
buckle covered with the material.
There is another way OF making this
skirt that is easier and more simple.
but these directions can only be fol-
lowed when the goods Is sufficiently wide
to allow its being used on the cross
weave. Whether this can be done de-
pends on the length of the skirt required
and the width Of the goods one has to
work with. When a figured goods is
used in this way the waist must also be
cut from the cross weave in order to

have the design run in the same way.
To make the skirt in the way talked Of,
take for the average person n length
fifty-four inches long. Pin the center of
one selvage edge to the center back of
the belt, and then proceed to drape the
goods in the way described above. Al
the sides there will not he a seam TO
use as a guide, but a point from which
to work may easily be found by running
the finger along the edge of the selvage
and pulling it straight out under the
arms. At this point find the length re-
qured to get the desired drapery, just
as you do in the case of the seam. and
then proceed to pin the material to the
belt.

such dresses chiffon is a material that
never fails to befriend the girl or woman
who must consider the cost OF things,
but who insists upon being well dressed.
Especially is this material good this sea-
son, when ruffles and founces and plait-
ings make the dress. The choice of color
is an individual matter, and so far as the
style of the dress is concerned makes no
difference. Delicate shades are, however,
always good for evening but this season
many girls select, with good result. the
fashionable brilliant hues that they make
up very satisfactorily. For the dress in
question. a flesh colored chiffon was Sc

There are a number of new models
that are good for the spring bride, but
the two pictured were selected after
careful consideration. because the de-
pie and easy to make. The afternoon
dress may serve also as a dinner frock,
if the material and color be chosen with
care. 1t has a picturesque outline that
is charming.
The materials particularly suited to
afternoon dresses are Powered crepes,
printed taffetas, charmeuse or voiles.
In spite of the fact that taffeta is ex-
treme popular, a plum colored fiowered
crepe in a spring pattern was selected
for this dress. The flowers are large.

the goods the same distance apart, and
are in a color that harmonizes with the
shade of the goods. OF course, II this
color is not becoming to the bride-to-be,
any other modish shade may be selected,
and the dress will be equally pretty
when completed.
The reason that crepe was given pref
erence in this model was because the

that the sensible thing to do is to make
use of the bridal dress, and not hang it

fectly useless. Here are two sugges-
tions for using ii to advantage: A

The blouse and skirt would be pretty

an important part as a finish for the
edges of both the waist and skirt II
the bride feels that the bridal gown
will be of more service to her as a street
dress. then she can have it dyed in any
of the new shades. Taffeta is a silk
that dyes nicely and the design of the
dress is such that there is no reason
why it should not look well when fin
ished
Having decided to make the afternoon
dress of crepe, use the regulation kimono
pattern for the blouse, which has the
dropped shoulders, with the extra sleeve
length added. The blouse is made in the
regular way, with very decided full
ness at the sides. and bloused at the
waist line. The material laps over at
the front giving the regulation V at
the neck. The collar is one of the new
flare models. and both that and the re-
vers are of taffeta- These collars can be
bought ready to wear. and whenever 1t
is possible to do so il. is a good plan to
purchase one because this means a saw
ing of time and is little. IL any more, ex-
