MUST MATCH THE COSTUME

Fashion's Edict Is That Sleeves Shall Conform to General Style of Dress Worn. When the sleeves are of the peasant type, large folded-back cuffs are usually employed as trimming, with perhaps a narrow undersleeve of some sheer white material, net or allover embroidery. This can be edged with a bit of lace edging or a narrow bias piping.. When the regulation sleeve, that Is cut on the lines of a coat sleeve, is used, the cuff is made more simple, to conform with this style. It is usually straight and untrimmed, except for a double row of stitching. Sleeves of a summer gown or blouse admjt of much trimming. Lace insertion, embroidered or lace motifs, insets of both lace and embroidery, with edging un the cuffs, are all correct, if care is. taken to choose suitable trimming and not too much of it is used. An overtrimmed sleeve, like an overtrimmed gown, is far worse than a perfectly plain garment finished with only a hem.
