Show s FASHION NOTES. For the Home Seamstress. To make a pretty and ' comfortable petticoat, cut the skirt about a quarter of a yard shorter than walking length. Make it the same length all around. Sew this on the machine. Sew on the hem a plaited silk ruffle, cut on the straight of the material, about six inches deep. On the edge of the plaited ruffle sew a narrow bias ruffle about two inches deep. Do not set the ruffles on the skirt proper, as the skirt is easier eas-ier to walk in, wears better and rustles more if the ruffles are set on the bot- torn. Small plaits are prettier than large ones. |
