Tho variety of materials and designs de-signs for wrappers, negligees, house dresses, sacques, and little combing jackets Is well nigh endless. Houses and apartments .aro bo well heated Inow that the actual warmth of a garment gar-ment for wear. Indoors Is not so often considered as It was once on a time. "Whether a wrapper Is to bo lined or not Is usually a matter of personal preference and probably for this tlm of tho year a yoko lining, also lining for the Bleoves, will bo sensible. A flno quality of Bllesla costing 35 conU a yard Is most satisfactory, although porcallno will probably answer tha purpose qutto as well and will bo lest expensive. It would bo a good plan, II a pattern has to be bought, to buy ono of a plain wrapper nnd with th aid of this pattern It should be posslbl to copy almost any kind of a one plec gown. It Is much bettor to learn tc do this than to feel obliged to buy s now pattern for every garment made And If ono feels timid about trying an experiment on now cloth, It will bo time well spont to uao some old cloth or tlssuo paper and get tho Ides right with that. It gives one a feeling of satisfaction to bo nblo to' copy tin pretty clothes so often seen, either ot people, In tho stores, or In magazine or papers. In using a plain or any other kind ol a pnttorn ono most Important point must be homo In mind. When a section sec-tion of tho wrapper Is laid on tho material ma-terial (It the pattern has been well cut) tho lower edgo of tho armholo and the bottom and front edgo of tha skirt part will both touch tho selvage edgo. If tho skirt part at tho bottom bot-tom extends beyond tho straight edge of tho goods do not let It, but draw n now line from tho hip to tho bottom, making tho bottom touch tho selvage. This applios to tho front at tho underarm, under-arm, tho underarm piece, and tho sldo pieces on their front edges. The reason rea-son is gores will hang towards, tha front Instead of towards tho back, ns they should, If this Is not done. If tha gores aro not wido enough across tha bottom add tho necessary width to tha back edges. Ono pretty wrapper is shown which could answer tho purposo ot a tea gown. It would bo lovely made of a Japanese cropo In wnrm, rich reds, with tho front of plain red mousso-line mousso-line or soft silk. A sort ot doublo rut-llo rut-llo finishes tho neck, put on in such a manner as to form a little bolero. This wrapper could be entirely mado of tha crepe, excepting tho ruffles. |
