Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 293, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 December 1912 — Double Skirts. [ARTICLE]

Double Skirts.

Although the plaited skirt la premised a revival, numbers, of the new Paris model suits have still skirts which, although rather tight at the ankles, are ample enough round the hips and knees. There are ways of giving spring to these gowns, which prevent them from developing into anything which is likely to recall the hobble. In some cases the seam la left open at the foot in modified directoire fashion, while a still better expedient is that of the two skirts,' one above the other, and both of which have one open seam in a different place, so-that plenty of freedom Is gained in this manner, the skirt remaining, however, narrow in appearance and the opening unnoticeable.
