Below are fashions for young ladies, girls, and young children featured in the June 1904 edition of "The Designer" magazine.

LITTLE BOYS' SUIT AT FAR LEFT IN PLATE 5. Red and white pique are very effectively combined for the suit as shown here.

Another view of the design, presenting it in entirely different development, is given below in Plate 5a and is accompanied by measurements for the quantity of material required and description details.

GIRLS' DRESS, SECOND FROM LEFT IN PLATE 5, is shown here stylishly reproduced in white linen with pipings of red linen.

The design is again presented, but with different development, below in Plate 5b and is accompanied by measurements for the quantity of material required for the making of the garment, along with description details.

MISSES' COSTUME, THIRD FROM LEFT IN PLATE 5, is in the present instance made of green figured foulard and all-over lace. The girdle is of panne.

It is again shown below in Plate 5c and is accompanied by details.

GIRLS' TUCK-SHIRRED DRESS AT FAR RIGHT IN PLATE 5. As here shown the model is reproduced in blue lawn and is prettily decorated with embroidered ruffles.

A different development of the design is given below in Plate 5d complete with details and required measurements of materials.

LITTLE BOYS' SUIT. Pink chambray and embroidered insertion are used for the pictured suit, the Russian blouse of which is fitted by shoulder and under-arm seams, and has the neck edge finished by a sailor collar in either of two outlines. A separate shield is provided, and removable cuffs may be worn with the sailor sleeves. The stylish little knickerbocker trousers, which have no fly, close at the sides.

Little boys' suit can be made in six sizes from three to eight years. The four-year size requires three yards of material thirty-six inches in width.

GIRLS' DRESS. Russian-blue chambray is selected for this pretty dress, the waist of which is mounted on a fitted lining. The front and backs of the material are laid in tucks which extend from the shoulder seams to the lower edges of the waist and the front is shirred at the lower edge. The one-seamed bishop sleeve is finished by a straight cuff. Three or fewer shoulder-capes may be attached to the shoulders of the waist, the upper edges being concealed beneath the tucks of the back and front and a standing collar finishes the neck edge. The attached side-plaited skirt is in one piece.

Girls' dress can be made in nine sizes from four to twelve years. The nine-year size requires four and one-quarter yards of material thirty-six inches in width. (This article continues on the next page...click the "Next" button below to go there.)

The large color prints shown on the fashion pages were originally printed in black and white. I have colorized them via computer using the plate descriptions as a guide.

*Special Note: Some words that appear to be misspelled on these pages, like "centre" and "fulness" are actually correct. They have been copied letter for letter from antique sources. Many words have changed in spelling over time.
