DRESSMAKING AT HOMR By SYLVIA. A Magyar Yoke Blouse. It is not a little surprising to those who accuse Dame Fashion of fickleness to find how very long a time she h&s remained faithful to the MHityw or kimono type of garment, which even now shows no signs of waning in favour, and all the models of what are known as advance fashions show this effect of line and looiin.' where the bodices and coats are concerned. For the more youthful members of my r. idors who may be wanting a new blo i-' T r. v selected—in No. J,760—a pattern v.' <• of the most popular of the ih being cut on Magyar lines, winch g. vt-s th loose, long-shouldered effect we still ptvler t PATTERN NO. 1,760. Lnv other, and at the same time the fulness av the lower portion which it is not possible to at- tain with the all-in-one shape. This type of blouse looks charming carried out in silk, satin, crepe-de-chine, or any softly- woven fabric, either of the plain or brocaded variety, the trimming in the design sketched consisting of a narrow fur at the back of the neck and round the sleeves, though, if you do not quite care for this, you can substitute any other form of trimming you prefer. If you 4o not like the fur I should sug- gest replacing this by a full ruching of tulle or net just round the back of the neck, to give the Medici effect which is slowly coming into favour in this country, though it was much seen in Paris nearly two years ago. In the accompanying diagram I have shown how to arrange the various portions of the pat- tern on the material selected-in this case 1 yard of 42-inch; but if 22-inch or 36-inch be selected the method will be the same. It has to be opened out in order to get the yoke all in one, as this is better cut lengthways of the material. The back may require a tiny piece joined on, as I have indicated by the turned- back broken lines. DIAGRAM J'OR PATTzzw No. 1780-:1 If you use 22-inch or 36-inch goods it will be better to join pieces on each side, in order to keep the seams of these as far under the arms as possible. Be very careful to keep the centre perfectly even with the line of the selvedge. Mark round very carefully, then join on neatly what may be necessary and press well, having first marked the centre of the back by a tack- thread. then outline the remainder in the eame way. Now make the piping-for which the silk to enclose the cord must be cut on the exact cross— then sew this to the yoke edges, being careful not to stretch or pucker them. Next gather the blouse edges, arrange and sew to those of the yoke, as the notches indicate, regulating the gathers evenly; tack and stitch the arm and ■ide-seams, oversew, cutting and .curving where necessary to make them set well, ana press ttrefully. Now pipe the neck and front edges to corre- spond with the yoke, which should be cut wide ejiough to allow of it being turned in for a hem, sew on the necessary fastenings, also the buttons: hem and press lower edge; then finish off the sleeves, sew on the fur round the neck and sleeve edges, and finish off. A Nicely-Fitting Underskirt. The next sketch—-No. 1,761-is inserted for the benefit of those who do not altogether care for the tango affair illustrated last week, but want something which they can wear com- fortably with the modish slim or slit-ekirt, which is likely to be worn, so far as present in- dications go, for some time to come—i.e., if the newly-introduced trouser af"-iir does not inter- fere with its popularity. The model shown is intended for this, being, as you see from the sketch, cut on closely-fitting lines, and open at the sides to ii!low freedom of movement. These openings Ay- rounded and hemmed at the lower edges, and the whole finished off with rather wide torchon lace of a coarse, firm make, or crochet if preferred, put on quite flat, as is now the mode. A few inches FATTBMT No. 1,761. above this is a strip of insertion, either laid on flat. or, which is prettier, with the material cut away from underneath, and neatened at each side. If this is done, tack and stitch on the insertion evenly at the edges, then cut the material underneath along the centre, turn it back, and hem over the stitches where it has been sewn on at each edge. The pattern is a two-piece affair, the seams, therefore, coming at each side, and joined in the ordinary way, neatened, and pressed. The waist-part is fitted by darts, which should be taken off to a more nothing at the tips, whilst the upper edge is turned in and neat- ened by tape, which is stitched to it at the edge. This should make a hem wide enough for the tape to be run through a few inches from each end of the placket-opening, which is at the cc, back, and former) by making a wide hem on ,boTh sides, folding right over left, and stitch- it)" firmly together where ihov are lapped ever. a flannel petticoat this pattern is all ex- one, and will take 2 to 21 yards of 30-inch or 42-inch goods.
