side like spear heads or javelins.
Sometimes red or blue pyroxylin Is
introduced into the desig-n.
Eyelet embroideries and all-over
eyelet work materials were con
spicuous at the LiOtigchamp races.
Jenny sent many models of eyelet
worked fabric; and some of her navy
blue or black frocks had collar and
cuffs of ecru eyelet embroidered
batiste.
DPar Madam Rtchot: Will J'nti please
tell mc how I can improve this dress.
I have worn it a year like this and want
a change Could it bo cut down front
of waist and small vest put in? I am
5 feet L inehes tall and Welsh 115 pounds.
Thank you for any suwsestions you
may give. C. MACUOWAN.
CMACGOWAN If you can secure
. the Fashionable Dress for Au
gust you will find on page 19, No.
2062, a very attractive design after
which you should copy yours for re
modeling with pleasing result. If
your blouse seems too wide, why not
rip and lay a pleat in a premade
pattern which would have the width
desired and then recut your present
blouse?
Rather than have a contrasting
fabric I would suggest that you have
your sleeves, vest collar and sash
and embroidered in the black and
cherry red rope silk with the wood
en buttons placed here and there
through the design. Carry out much
the same design as is shown in the
picture.
You will find that the change in
the style will take care of the large
npek size which you mention on
your supplementing page. Rather
than shorten the panels I would
combine two into a longer length,
letting It almost touch the floor,
and, too, should you care to do so,
carry around the waist line the em
broidered belt ending In the one
long end. While I realize that your
sleeves cannot be the same type, the
general scheme of line and values
can be produced. The removal of
the beading will in itself make a big
change.
Will be pleased to be of further
help to you should you require fur
ther suggestion.
