I DRESS OF THE DAY. I A SIMPLE LITTLE FROCK. I Among the most tempting of all the many I tempting garments shown this spring are the simple little one-piece frocks suitable lOl ueeful everyday wear. These are so numer. ous and so infinitely various that choice be. comes a matter of real difficulty. But, alas, nearly all these pretty dresses are expensive —horribly expensive in comparison with pre-war prices; consequently, many women who feel they cannot afford to pay the large sums asked for very simple models are de- termined to make their own frocks this year, and are already setting to work in earnest upon their summer outfit. And, really, dressmaking is not a difficult matter when one has the help of the excellent patterns so easily obtainable nowadays, whilst the economy effected is so tremendous that the time and trouble spent upon the work are amply repaid. Moreover, the frocks and blouses shown this spring are so simple in style that they are by no means difficult to I [Refer to X 876.] I manage. The charming little frock shovtn in our sketch is just the very model for the home-dressmaker to try her hand upon; it is so very simple in shape. The actual dresa • from which the sketch was made was carried out in a very soft silk and wool crepe, the colour being a particularly charming shade of mauve. But any other soft material, such as crepe de Chine, eharmeuse, dress cloth, or eren cotton crepe or cotton Georg- ette would serve admirably for the purpose. This dresa fastens at the back. The front of the bodice forms a panel which is wide enough tq touch the top of the sleeve at each side, and this panel is continued below the waist in the form of a sort of loose apron, which reaches a tittle below the knees. The neck of the dress is cut out in a shallow round, which in front develops into a sort of loop-like opening. All the edges of panel, neck, and opening are bor- dered by a charming embroidery in mauve and grey wool. A pretty galon might re- place this embroidery with excellent effect. The plain, close-fitting sleeves are cut in one with the sides of the bodice, and are finished at the wrist by a little band of the embroidery. A broad sash of mauve char. meuee lined with grey taffetas finishes this pretty frock. The loop-like opening at the neck is partially filled by a little hem- stitched vest of pale ecru net. I FOR BAIRNS AT NIGHT. I The nightdress shown on the right of our illustration shows a capital nightdress for a schoolgirl. It can be made by utilising an old garment of your own. Two old night- dresseB will often provide sufficient material for one for a smaller person, and, when made with the Magyar top, as shown here, can be cut to great advantage. Nightgowns for the bairns can be made out of old flannel shirts. The backs are often ex. [Refer to X 877.3 I tremedy good, although the sleeves and fronts may be worn. The little sleeping- uuit has separate trousers, and this pattern has been specially designed so that old material can be used up. A nice, warm sleeping-suit can be made out of discarded flannel things. Coat and trousers need not match perfectly, but the pattern can often be so washed out that they are almost plain, 80 it does hot show. NEW BLOUSES. I The new blouses are very pretty. Most of the best French models for afternoon wear are ma.delon, and form a basque below the waist which in some cases takes the shape of one, two, or even three trills. These smart afternoon bio ufifes are usually made of thin materials such as Georgette or similar light crapes, chiffons, ninon, or a Tery thin and lustrous weave of crepe de Chine. They are simple in shape and equally simple in trimming, hand-worked veining, hand-eifibrbidery, or a little deli- cate lace being the trimming used. Waist- coat blouses are somewhat of a novelty. These are so shaped that they look like a separate waistcoat when worn with a coat. BUTTONS. I Buttons are much in evidence upon many of the new tailored gowns and costumes. In many cases they are covered with the material of which the garment is made; in others 'they are made of bone, ivory, mother- o'-pearl, horn, or braid. Paper patterns can, be supplied, price 6Jd.
