LADIES' SHIRT-WAIST COSTUME ON RIGHT IN PLATE 2, in pale blue linen is used to make this exceedingly stylish costume, and hand embroidery in blue and white supplies the decoration. An entirely different development of the design is presented below in Plate 2b, where it is accompanied by a detailed description. The figure shown here wears a gray straw, the under brim of which is worked with dark blue chenille, and the trimming consists of dark-blue quills fastened flat across the crown.

LADIES' COAT IN FULL OR SEVEN-EIGHTHS LENGTH. This stylish coat is made of dark red waterproof silk, and is finished with stitching in red silk. It is ornamented with stitched straps of the silk and with polished horn buttons.

The garment is fitted by side-back, side-front, underarm and shoulder seams. The upper protions of the fronts form lapels which meet the rolling collar in notches. The latter is in two pieces united by a centre-back seam and covered with a one-piece facing. Shaped shoulder capes, laid in box-plaits on the shoulders, are attached to the upper portion of the coat, and a shawl collar which may be used in preference to the rolling collar is provided; also two styles of sleeve, one being a one-seamed bishop model gathered into a band cuff with fancy strap extensions, while the second is in three sections and finished in flowing style. Small strap portions are supplied for the decoration of this sleeve, but may be omitted. A strap belt is attached to the back of the garment. The coat may be cut in full or seven-eighths length.

Venetian cloth, kersey, broadcloth, serge, cravenette, tweed, taffeta, mohair or pongee may be used to develop this design, and braid, galloon, machine stitching, Persian trimming, silk gimp or applique lace may be used to trim.

Ladies' coat can be made in seven sizes from thirty-two to forty-four inches bust. Thirty-six-inch bust size requires, in full-length, fifteen yards of twenty-two-inch material; six and three-eighths yards forty-four inces, or five and one-half yards sixty inches. For seven-eighths length without cape, twelve and one-eighth yards twenty-two inches; five and seven-eighths yards forty-four inches, or four and one-eighth yards sixty inches.

LADIES' SHIRT-WAIST COSTUME IN SHORT-SWEEP OR ROUND LENGTH. Wedgewood-blue linen and white allover embroidery are combined for this pretty summer costume, bands of embroidery trimming the collar, front plait and cuffs.

The unlined tucked shirt waist, which forms the upper part of the costume, is fitted by under-arm and shoulder seams, and to it is attached the shoulder-yoke collar, although this feature may be omitted. The neck edge is completed by a back-closing standing collar, and the closing of the waist is effected down the centre of the box-plait which completes the right front. The sleeve is one seamed and gathered into a straight cuff, which opens with the sleeve on the outside of the arm. The nine-gored skirt has an inverted box-plait at the back, and the side-front and side-back gores are lengthened by tucked sections, and are themselves tucked at the lower edge.

This design may be effectively developed in taffeta, brilliantine, flannel, serge, velveteen, linen, chambray, crash, gingham or percale, and lace, embroidery, insertion, braid, ribbon, bias bands or stitching will trim the costume effectively.

Ladies' shirt-waist costime can be made in seven sizes from thirty-two to forty four inches bust measure. The thirty-six-inch-bust size requires thirteen and seven-eithths yards of material twenty inches wide; eight and five-eighths yards thirty-six inches, or seven and one-quarter yards forty-four inches, with, as represented, one and one-eighth yards of eighteen-inch all-over embroidery for the yoke collar, bands, etc. Width of skirt at lower edge is four and one-half yards.
