Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 274, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 November 1913 — Upturned Hems. [ARTICLE]

Upturned Hems.

The innovation in upturned hems on the outside of the skirt has given the colorists another chance to put in a dash of tone that will contrast with the rest of the skirt. As Roman stripes and Scotch plaids continue to reappear, on the best of the new clothes, it is only natural that they should find an abiding place at the bottom of the shirt or at the edge of one of those wired tunics that are made of all hinds of thin material. There is a dark-blue coat suit of gabardine which has a two-inch bem of red, white and blue plaid bound with a black velvet ribbon at the top; the coat does not have a collar of the plaid which is the first thing one thinks of its having, but the Scotch silk shows up as envelope flaps to the three pockets, which are edged with a black velvet ribbon and fastened over a black velvet button.
