Ladies' Coat and Skirt No. 186 T

Mixed red and black Cheviot was the material here employed in developing the skirt, which is decorated with strappings of plain fabric and shows the fashionable flare at the foot resulting from box-plaits introduced at the lower part of the side seams.

The mode, which is in seven-gored style, is shaped to have the fashionable dip at the top and has an inverted double box-plait at the back. It may be in round or short-sweep length.

The smart coat is faultlessly adjusted and in this instance is developed in dark-green broadcloth, with machine-stitching for the finish.

A shawl collar and the long shoulder effect are becoming features of the mode, and fancy strappings and stitching useful supply decoration. The sleeves bell over the hand and the garment is closed with a fly.

Description

The practical woman recognizes the benefits to be obtained from wearing the slightly shortened skirt, and, in consequence, this useful garment is not only an acknowledged but a necessary part of the well-ordered outfit.

A skirt that will be sure to meet with appreciation when made of fine cloth. In one instance the material is plain and in the other plaid, stitching giving the finish in both cases.

The mode is of circular shaping and is cut in one-piece but may be in two-piece style with a seam at the center of the front and back, if preferred.

A dip at the top of the front that may be conventional or more pronounced distinguishes the skirt, which is dart-fitted over the hips and has fullness at the back laid in an under-folded box-plait that is stitched for a short distance.

The skirt ripples with becoming fulness at the lower edge, where it measures about three yards in the medium sizes and may be made in instep or shorter length.

The mode is a particularly desirable one for touring, shopping, stormy weather wear and for outdoor sports of all descriptions and is equally beneficial for plaids and pattern fabrics as for everyday materials.

Dressmaker Options

For golfing skirts, the favorite color is a very dark iron-gray or black. Oxford suiting will develop the mode stylishly.
