Deep Pointed Scallops

Designers pesmit great latitude in
the outline Of these bouffant skirts,
and 1t is interesting to observe the diff

this mode. 1t makes little difference
whether the hoop or extended portion
of the skirt be at the hem line, at the
half way mark or at the hips. Each
dressmaker has a slightly different in

A typical version is a model with
deep pointed scallops at the hem. The
points sweep the ground, while the
cut-away portion Is so extreme that a
short effect Is ingenlously produced.
