TIMES FASHION DEPARTMENT
LADY'S DRESS.
By Anabel Worthinrton

A very chic afternoon dress which is
really simpler to make than 1t looks Is
shown in No. S.424. The front of th,
waist and the skirt panel are cut in one
and there is a corresponding panel at the
back which only extends as far as the
waist line. The waist is quite plain
under the enormous collar, which almost
hides the waist. The collar reaches nearly
to the waistline in the back and gives the
effect of revers in the front. The sleeves
may be long or three-quarters, but both
styles have the deep tucks for trimming.
The four piece skirt is gathered to the
regulation waistline and the side sections
have deep tucks at hip depth. A narrow
sash tied at the back is to be worn with
this dress.
The dress PATTERN. No. s424. is cut in
sizes So to 40 inches bust measure. The
Sc inch size requires sss yards of SO inch
material, with 1 yard of % inch silk for
sash and 4 yard u inch contrasting
goods for the vest
To obtain this pattern send 10 cents to
the office of this publication
