To be neat and to be simple is the
province of the dress which is made to
be worn about the house for the daily
use of the housewife. The house dress
has it's own deyotees among design
ers, and their thought is spent upon
making it attractive and substantial
and entirely suited to the needs of the
woman who busies herself with the
affairs of her housekeeping.
To be successful with the house
gown is to understand first how to Sc
lect the material for making it. This
must be durable wash fabric in a
neat pattern and stable colorings. The
crispness and freshness of the newly
Numbered gown is it's best attraction,
and this is to be kept in mind when

models are made of combinations OF
white with the several fast shades OF
blue, green, lavender and light brown
These are often combined with a plain
fabric in a solid color, as in the dress
shown in the picture.
The house dress is to be cut in one
piece and loosely adjusted to the fig
ure. The sleeves are not to be longer
than three-Quarter length and the skirt
should hardly reach the instep. The
pattern should provide for easy iron
ing and the dress should fasten at the
front or side-front with buttons and
buttonholes. There are many different
designs to choose from, and they do
not vary greatly from year to year,
for the house dress is not required to
follow the fads Of fashion.
1t is a good plan to shrink materials.
