AND NOW COMES THE JIBBAH

If You Don’t Know What It Is, Read the Following Description of Garment. My friends admire my jibbah. It is much prettier and more graceful than an ordinary kimono, and it takes only half a day to make one. The material should be at least 44 inches wide. There is absolutely no waste in cutting, except the circle or square at

the neck. The length of the sleeve must be determined according to the figure. When that is done the distance from underarm to bottom, b, d, is bisected at c, and the triangular portion, a, b, c, which Is cut out, is turned right around to form the gore, d, c. e. If the gown Is made of figured material, a yoke of plain goods would be pretty. If the jibbah Is of plain cloth the yoke may be beautifully embroidered, making a pretty and becoming house gown.—Good Housekeeping Magazine.
