GARMENT TO MAKE AT HOME
NegIgee That viii Give Satisfaction
Is an Easy Task for the Amateur
Simple Design.

First make a straight, narrow slip of
very pale blue pussy willow taffeta,
with a tiny, bebe waist gathered into
a belt just under the bust, and ribbon
straps across the shoulders to hold
up the little gathered waist. Attach
tunic of pale blue chiffon to this
slip, about at the hips, and drop over
it second tunic from the high belt.
Slash each tunic up at the front in a
deep point and edge both tUnics with
lace insertion. The upper tunic will
fall below the hip in front and almost
to the knees at back; the lower tunic
will hang at the back; but slope up to
reveal the feet in front. Tie a sash
of peach-pink satin ribbon against the
lace-edged upper tunic where the apex
CT the slope comes in front. Now
make kimono-shaped coat of net-top
lace with the border at the bottom.
This is to fall six inches below the
satin belt over the upper tunic of blue
chiffon. Edge the V-neck in the lace
tunic or coat with lace insertion and
trim the very short sleeves in the
same way Several little bows of pink
ribbon will make the lace tunic gay
and charmingly in keeping with the
skirt.
