Dress Note
Skirts-separately, but perhaps especially of frocks-are to be individual. Their lines, for the Spring, are to be many and various. Study them early to avoid that hasty choice of the one that suits you least. You know how it is! Here are some forecasts: Cut with two wide flares with front and back centre seams. A goodish amount of fulness, however, gathered to hang in front folds. A skirt yoke cut to fit the hips and V’d back and front, into which two semi-circular flares are caught with inverted tuckings stitched to a depth of four inches. Front and back centre seams. A straight wide flare, perfectly plain but for darttuckings round the waist ‘to a depth of three inches. Simple knife pleats in sets of threes all the way round and stitched to mid-thigh depth.
One rule for all-make them brief.
