Up-to-date Styles for Young and Old

(January, 1912, page 15)

 For Church or Calling

The gown for church or afternoon wear is distinct from the general-utility dress, and the evening toilette.  It must not be as plain as the former, or as elaborate as the latter.  A design that presents a pleasing medium is offered in No. 5134.Here is a dress that has class and style combined with simplicity and good taste.

    The waist is a dainty surplice blouse, made collarless, and with short kimono sleeves.  A new feature is the box plait running down the center of the back.  The front opening is cut V-shaped, and is trimmed with silk, which extends the full length of the waist, and on down the skirt about six inches.   A broad band of the silk trims the bottom of the costume.  The chemisette is of lace.
     The skirt is a six-gored model, with a center box plait at back.  The closing is at the left side front.
     The pattern, No. 5134, is cut in sizes from 32 to 42 inches bust measure.  To make the dress in the medium size will require 4 7/8 yards of 36-inch, or 4 1/8 yards of 44-inch material.  The guimpe will take 1 ¾ yards of 36-inch material.  For trimming, 1 ¾ yards of silk is needed, with 1 yard of 18-inch allover.  Price of pattern, 10 cents.





Girls’ Dress

     A pretty school-dress that embodies several novel features, is given in our illustration, No. 4808, which is an excellent suggestion for mothers having little girls to clothe.  The long-waisted model is always a favorite, and this one combines other fanciful touches which make it out of the ordinary.
