The Home Dressmaker 
Striped 1 oile and 
Striped Voile. —In the first illustra¬ 
tion is a rose and white striped voile 
that gives an excellent idea for Summer 
gowns. The plain two-piece skirt nar¬ 
rows slightly at the hem, and has a plain 
gathered tunic around back and sides. 
This tunic is knee length and is made 
with the stripes running around, instead 
of up and down. The plain waist has 
loose sleeves the same width from shoul¬ 
der to wrist, with turn-back cuffs having 
the stripes running around. The only 
trimming is the separate vestee. a style 
now very popular, and used in different, 
materials on all 
sorts of gowns. 
It is a straight 
plastron, cotniug 
up around the 
neck and fasten¬ 
ing at the back, 
where it formed 
a round collar. 
It was buttoned 
to the waist 
down each side 
of the plastron 
falling below 
the narrow belt 
in a little apron 
p e p 1 u m. The 
material w a s 
white organdie, 
tucked across, 
with little in¬ 
sets of embroid¬ 
ery between. The 
dress was sim¬ 
ple enough for 
any wash mate¬ 
rial, and could 
b e developed 
very prettily in 
striped gingham 
or percale. 
Pique, linen or 
crash are used 
for separate 
vestees of the 
style shown, 
some p re t t y 
styles noted be¬ 
ing of linen 
crash with sim¬ 
ple colored em¬ 
broidery across 
the bottom and 
round the neck. 
Tax Tricotine. —The model at the 
right is a very simple gown of tan trico¬ 
tine. one of the knitted fabrics now so 
popular. It is extremely simple, merely 
a plain waist with long tight sleeves, 
and a two-piece skirt slightly narrowed 
at the bottom. The dress was made very 
attractive, however, by flat bands of wool 
embroidery, two bands on the skirt, and 
a band around the round neck and comiug 
down the front of the waist, extending 
about eight inches down the center of the 
skirt, concealing the placket. The sleeves 
were trimmed 
with similar 
bands at the 
wrist. This- 
emb roid ery 
was a conven¬ 
tional pattern 
of disks and 
darning stitch 
i u b r own, 
black, old rose 
and old blue. 
The d o u b 1 e 
belt was a uar- 
r o w “shoe¬ 
string'’ looped 
at the back. 
The hat shown 
has a high 
crown of fold¬ 
ed silk, and an 
odd little 
square brim of 
straw, with a 
little curling 
feather at one 
side. 
Basket- 
weave Trim¬ 
ming. —In the 
second picture 
the figure at 
the left wears 
a plain dress 
of blue satin 
given an ori¬ 
ginal look by 
the use of bas¬ 
ket-weave rib¬ 
bon pockets. 
The plain nar¬ 
row skirt has 
a short tunic 
at the top 
slightly fuller 
than the skirt, 
being gathered 
at the bottom, 
puff. “ ‘

the bottom of the tunic 
and attached to the skirt 
so that it forms a scant 
The front of this tunic formed a 
at each side, like a panel, a large 
square pocket being placed at each side, 
being attached under this pleat. The 
pockets were made of one-inch ribbon, 
black and blue, woven together just as a 
child weaves paper mats at kindergarten. 
The plain round neck had a little opening 
in front, tied with a black ribbon ; three- 
quarter length sleeves were rather loose, 
with turn-back cuffs; the waist finished 
with a folded girdle. This dress was 
fastened invisibly down the left shoulder 
and under the left arm. In making such 
a dress the separate lining fastens down 
the front, and the sleeves are set in the 
lining, with a facing extending beyond 
them, so that the lining will not show 
when the arm is moved about. The lining 
and skirt are fastened together. The 
waist is finished separately, the armholes 
carefully faced; it is then put over the 
lining and attached at neck and belt. 
The whole front, however, is free from 
the lining; the right sleeve passes through 
the finished armhole, while at the left 
side back and front are joined by snap 
fasteners down the shoulder, and hooks 
under the arm. 
The readymade 
dresses usually 
have snap fas¬ 
teners under the 
arm. tqo. but 
they are very 
hard to fasten. 
The placket is 
at the left side 
too. the tunic 
drapery being 
attached to the 
girdle, and hav¬ 
ing an invisible 
opening, the 
skirt placket be¬ 
ing hidden. 
Pink Calico. 
—A plain little 
frock of pink- 
spotted calico is 
worn by the 
figure in the 
center. Spotted 
calico certainly 
suggests an old- 
fashioned coun¬ 
try girl’s dress, 
hut the English 
calico now fash¬ 
ionable is a 
smooth, fine, soft 
fabric more ex¬ 
pensive t h a n 
m a n y voiles. 
The plain skirt 
of this dress is 
like the satin 
gown at the 
left, having a 
short tunic gath¬ 
ered into a 
scant puff at 
the bottom. The waist, cut in one piece 
with kimono shoulders, had two tucks 
going around it below the arms; it was 
fastened down the back. The lower part 
of this waist was cut into sash ends, like 
so many of the surplice waists; these ends 
were brought around to the back and 
tied, thus leaving folds at the waist in 
front, that took the place of a belt. The 
neck was finished with a narrow pink 
ribbon, tied in a bow at one side. The 
sleeves were rather unusual; they were 
of the bishop style, gathered at the top 
with an up¬ 
standing frill 
where they 
joined the ki¬ 
mono shoulder 
of the waist. 
The cuff was 
gathered into 
a frill deeper 
at the back 
than the front. 
The hat shown 
in this picture 
is black lisere 
with a high 
c r o w n aud 
poke brim, the 
trimming being 
curled fancy 
feathers, n 1 d 
rose in color. 
A Little 
Girl’s Organ¬ 
die. —The lit¬ 
tle girl’s frock 
at the right is 
a plain pleat¬ 
ed model of a 
familiar type, 
with some lit¬ 
tle differences. 
The material 
w a s orchid- 
colored organ¬ 
die. This color 
is very much 
favored this 
Spring for lit- 
t 1 e girls’ 
dresses. The 
sash, w h i c h 
slips under a 
box pleat iu 
front, is white 
organdie. The 
frock has collar and cuffs of the orchid 
color, with over-collar aud cuffs of white 
organdie, the hems finished with briar- 
stitching in orchid color. The pleats of 
the dress have briar stitching in the same 
color at the top. to hold them flat. The 
hat shown is a Corday shape of white 
silk. Orchid color has not been so much 
'featured, before, in children’s clothes. 
There are also many girls’ dresses of 
Georgette and other fabrics in Victory 
red. a vivid yet soft shade, and also pastel 
shades of blue.

with chaiustitch formed the trimming of 
a pretty skirt. The chaiustitch was done
