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

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.
To find the definitions of words that may be unfamiliar to you, go to the
Glossary of Fabric, Trims & Fashion Terms.
