tive builder of MILDLY wear. All of
they are intended for summer wear
out of doors. They may be worn in
doors ali winter long and many school
girls are wearing linen middies
through the winter months, with
special middies made of dark blue
serge for campus and general outdoor
wear The regulation MILDLY model
has a pleated skirt and straight.
loose blouse and this blouse may be
worn outside the skirt. or tucked in
tslde the skirt-belt. The costume of
plcated linen, all in one piece, is an
adaptation of the MILDLY idea and this
neat frock can hardly be called a regu-
lation MILDLY.
One feature CT the typical MILDLY
blouse is its very roomy cut at the
shoulders. The armhole seam always
drops well over the arm and the blouse
| falls in soft lines on the figure with
out any pleats. gathers or tucks at
| the shoulder seam. This is one of the
important points to remember, IL you
essay MILDLY costume in the home
sewing room. Another point is that
the blouse is not shaped at all 10 the
! figure. Usually back and front sec
! lions are almost exactly alike; the
! back is quite as wide as the front and
! both are as wide at the shoulders as
| the width lower down, a the hip.
| a MILDLY blouse for a large busted
| figure cannot be given fulnesS by
Iplcats or gathers at the shoulder line
| that would completely spoil the MILDLY
effect. But the pattern may be laid
obliquely on the material. sloplng away
several inches from the centcr-front
fold as you cut out the front of the
blouse. This will give the front an
easier effect on the figure. But then
no woman with full curves at the bust
| should ever attempt 10 wear MILDLY.
The garment is for youthful, slender
| lines only.
Another important point about the
