ADVICE ABOUT ELASTIC NET FOUNDATIONS t <v - A x 'l’his is what we 1 mean. At the line ; 1 I seaming where R feu ? the elastic net joins *■ the cloth panels, the elastic thread may sometimes appear to IrF pulling away, ’t am °unts to nothing more than t a single strand of elastic net being cut by a machine needle anc L owing’ to the vVK ( fineness of the net, this cannot be completely obviated. However, no harm ’ lllillllffe • ’ s hone to the gnr- ,> ' ment, as it will not ‘ further and feWOfefOWW not run. So it z I best ignored. With elastic net foundation garments, it sometimes happens that a thread may appear to be pulling away from the seam, where the lastex net is joined to the cloth panels. Here, where elastic nets are comparatively new, this may prejudice a wonian against the garment—especially as the extreme lightness makes it appear somewhat frail. But in England and America, where women are more familiar with elastic nets, such a “flaw” is ignored, because it is widely recognized as unavoidable in the stitching of these foundations that the machine needle may sometimes pierce a lastex thread. It is considered of no account, and does not make the foundation any the less desirable, since, with this type of weave, the thread cannot run or loosen the tension or in any way impair the efficiency of the garment. Manufacturers could remedy matters themselves, with an extra stitch, but they do not, and in fact warn purchasers not to either, because it would be difficult to avoid piercing other threads in doing so. To-day, elastic net foundations are something to be cherished as you would cherish a pair of sheer silk stockings, for they are about to become almost as rare. The fabric conies from America, and fresh supplies will not be easy to come by now. “Corset Revietv,” by courtesy of Balei
