Show HERE'S A NOVEL SLEEVE IDEA Clever Girl Offers Valuable Suggestions Sugges-tions for the Woman Who Makes Her Own Clothes. Are you decided on the sleeve of vour new frock? Of course, you are undecided. Everyone Is when it comes to sleeves; because they are such terribly ter-ribly important things. As a matter of fact, most of the dress interest and individuality center about the sleeve. One clever girl offers this suggestion : Make the conventional not-too-loose or not-too-tight elbow-length sleeves. Now cut from the same material, or contrasting should you prefer, two squares. A "hole" in the middle of each provides a hand entrance. After that vou tack each corner of the square to the sleeve proper, and you have achieved enviable chic. Other awfully clever ideas can grow from this one. For instance, you are making a tunic blouse of two colors of chiffon or georgette geor-gette In that case you will use the two colors on your two-piece sleeve. Also fetching trimming will suggest Itself. What do you say to tacking the corners back with little glass buttons, but-tons, or finishing off with two slender tassels fore and aft of the arm? On your lingerie dress, you might treat the four sides of your square to a border of filet lace. Lace buttons would be perfectly exquisite with this. |
