NEGLIGEE EASY TO MAKE

Garment That Would Cost Much Money If Bought May Be Put Together at Home. A creation of messaline, chiffon and filmy shadow lace that would delight the eyes of a woman, however regardless of her personal appearance she might be, was recently exhibited in an extensive Bhop. The foundation of the negligee was white messaline. Over this was a draped cream chiffon bodice and a panniered tunic of the chiffon. The pannier effect, which was even all around, was obtained by simply turning under the edge of the straight tunic, giving it a bouffant touch. A girdle of pale blue messaline outlined the high waist line, and the lace fichu which draped the shoulders, Marie Antonette fashion, was of cream shadow lace, the V being ornamented along the edgeß with natural-sized rosebuds of pink chiffon. While the effect was elaborate, the making of such a negligee is quite simple and easily accomplished by the average needlewoman. It would further beautify the negligee to embroider about the bottom in colored silks a a border of tipy pink rosebuds.
