LACE FOR LINGERIE

MAKING THE NEW CAMI-BOCKERS AT HOME

Short skirts have caused the camibocker to be accepted as an indispensable item of our wardrobe. For dance wear and similar festive occasions they are prettiest when the gathered knee is trimmed with row after row of narrow lace. But the girl who makes her own lingerie finds it an appalling task to sew all those tiny frills into position. A Simple Task I achieve the effect with the minimum of labour by buying net already sewn with frills of lace, which is usually sold for making inset fronts for dresses. It is most convenient if the frills go the long way of the piece, but this is not so easy to procure as net with the frills arranged across the width. In the latter case, however, it is a simple matter to join two widths of the frilled net, which gives the knee measurement of the average camibocker pattern.
