Ladies Attractive Calling Outfits 184 T and 185 T - 1900

Ladies' Jacket and Skirt No. 184 T

The Eton modes still hold sway and are ensured popularity for the coming season. The one forming a part of this attractive outfit is shown made of cloth in one of the pastel tones of gray, with appliqués of luxurious lace and bands of darker fabric outlined with gilt braid for garniture.

The jacket is snugly adjusted and closes in double-breasted style with large fancy buttons. The fronts are turned back above the closing in large revers, and a high Hare collar is an attractive feature of the mode.

The sleeves are in two-seam coat style but may be in bell fashion, if preferred, the pattern supporting both effects. Following the present demands of Fashion, the coat dips at the front and has the extended shoulders that give the desired military air.

The circular skirt accords with the Eton in material and trimming, except that on the skirt the lace appliqués are omitted. It is also shown on the first cover page, in which connection it is fully described.

Dressmaker Options

In dark-gray tweed, with self-strappings and gun-metal buttons for the closing, the costume will be extremely attractive.

The result will be highly satisfactory if the outfit is made of dark-green broadcloth, with chinchilla for the collar and revers. Serge, homespun, Cheviot, camels-hair, etc., are suitable, and the decoration may be simple or elaborate.

Description

This jacket is shown on page 601, and in figure No. 184 T in this magazine.

A high flare collar that makes the garment protective, as well as stylish, is a feature of the mode, which is developed in tan light-weight Melton finished with stitching.

The back may be made with or without a center seam, and the adjustment at the front and sides is due to single bust darts and side-hack gores.

The fronts are semi-fitted and lap and close in double-breasted fashion, and above the closing, they are turned back in rounding rovers that lap to the throat.

They extend in dip fashion below the waist-line and show the long effect from shoulder to bust that is an essential item of current modes.

Short vents are formed below the side-back seams, and the lower edge of the garment is rounded prettily at the center of the back and front.

The two-seam sleeves may be in coat style or belled gracefully at the bottom, both effects being supported in the pattern, and the shoulders are extended, in accord with the latest decree of Fashion.

The collar is gored and rolls away gracefully in front, and the center seam may be continued to the top or ended a short distance from the upper edge, as illustrated.

Dressmaker Options

In Persian lamb the garment will be decidedly handsome, and, if desired, the collar might be faced with chinchilla or another contrasting fur.

Melton, covert cloth, broadcloth, Venetian, and tailored fabrics of all kinds are suitable for the reproduction of the mode, with braid or stitched strappings for the finish.

The skirt may be in round or short-sweep length at the bottom wherein the medium sizes it measures about three yards and one-fourth, and the flounce about four yards and one-fourth.

The fullness at the back is laid in an inverted box-plait, and the skirt may end at the top of the flounce or extend beneath it.

Ladies' Coat and Skirt No. 185 T

A coat of sealskin decorated with mink and a skirt of gray taffeta, with bands of the same and fancy stitching and buttons for garniture, are here united in reproducing an attractive costume.

The skirt is a stylish mode, having a front-gore that extends to the belt and two circular portions that are seamed to a smooth yoke at the sides and back.

It falls in graceful flutes below the hips and at the back and may be in round or short-sweep length, and at the top has the fashionable Marie Antoinette dip.

The coat is snug at the back and fronts, the latter being dart-fitted. It is somewhat deeper than those ordinarily seen and may be made longer, the pattern providing for both styles.

A high flare collar with rounding corners to correspond with the fronts gives neck completion, and the close-fitting two-seam sleeves are trimmed in round cuff style with a band of the mink.

The fashionable long shoulder effect is given, and mink heads and tails emphasize the closing at the throat.

The coat is especially desirable for fur, velvet, velour, heavy cloth, etc. A coat of Astrakhan could have the collar and sleeves trimmed with chinchilla or any other suitable fur.

Dressmaker Options

The skirt may be of cloth, vailing, cashmere, etc., and braid, appliqué lace or self-strappings will give proper completion.
