The negligee arranged with pleat In gs, sun or accordeon, according to fancy, is one that is almost staple, for Its soft and loose folds dispose themselves them-selves ever to the best and most artistic effect. A simple model that gives the effect of elaboration is that pictured a gown that can readily be fashioned at home for considerably less than the best shops charge. There is a yoke foundation, and over this the pleated part is disposed, this cut to reach from the shoulder to almost the ankle. At this point a very full circular flounce is shirred on to the straight pulled edge of the accordeon pleated upper part, and a lace entre deux Is cleverly used to si mulate panels on the pleated part, to . define the cut-out V neck and to trim t he flounce.
