s1899_2.gif


This dress may be reproduced in cloth, serge, tweed, or coating. 
The skirt may be made to the pattern presented with this Part; 
it is trimmed up each side the front with braid and buttons.
One of our coupon patterns is for the smart walking jacket, 
quite one of the newest styles of the season.  It is lined throughout 
with silk, and trimmed with braid.
The pattern consists of seven pieces, front, back, two side pieces, 
two pieces of sleeve, and revers.  The left front is cut the same 
as the right, except that it has not the pointed piece crossing the 
centre of front; it must therfore be cut straight up the front without 
this piece, as indicated by the dotted line in diagram No.69.
The lining is cut to the same pattern as cloth.  The fronts as far as 
the bust should be faced with canvas or stiffish muslin.  The edges 
of basque also should be turned up over the same.  The seams should 
be carefully pressed, but not boned.  Sew on the braid before the silk 
lining is put in, otherwise the stitches will show through the lining, 
and look untidy.
Cut the revers and turn-over collar in double cloth, and interline with 
canvas; then face with broche or braid, with a close pattern in narrow 
braid. Sew in position to the neck of jacket before the lining is put in. 
Make up the lining, then put it inside the jacket, seams turnings inside; 
fell neatly to the turned-up edge of cloth. Turn up the wrists of sleeves 
over canvas, then trim with braid; put the lining inside, fell the edge 
over turned-up edge of wrist, sew the cloth part of sleeve into the armhole, 
draw the lining up over the seam, and then fell it down.  The fronts are 
fastened by three buttons sewn on the left side, and three buttonholes worked 
in the edge of pointed piece crossing the front.
MATERIALS REQUIRED:  2 yards 48 inches wide, 6 yards braid, 5 yards silk, 
3 buttons. A full vest of soft white silk is worn under the jacket.
