Illustration on Page 424 | Described on Page 439

Blue suiting showing a beautiful stripe was used in developing the stylish toilette, with a finish of stitching.

The double-breasted jacket is a particularly smart design; it shows graceful adjustment and is closed in double-breasted style with buttonholes and buttons and turned back above the closing to form lapels that are silk faced.

A rolling collar finishes the neck, and the collar and the turn-tack cuffs completing the two-seam sleeves are faced with velvet. Laps conceal the openings to inserted pockets.

The skirt is a five-gored mode and is in instep length, but may be shorter, if liked. It shows the fashionable dip at the top, and flares gracefully at the bottom, where an inverted box-plait is introduced at each side seam, and the fullness in the back is arranged in an inverted box-plait.
