Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 26, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 January 1915 — Separate Skirts. [ARTICLE]

Separate Skirts.

Among separate skirts are seen plaited models, fastened down with tape or elastic, but full around the ankles. Plaited tunic skirts show clusters of plaits with panels between, etc. In many cases fullness is produced by the introduction of small plaits on the underskirt, which are pressed down and only show when the wearer is in motion. Sometimes two fabrics are employed, the tunic being of serge or gabardine and the underskirt of satin or messaline. Somatimes the underskirt is of a plain material, or vice versa. Checks or plaids with plain fabric are also used. Simple tailored skirts with yokes are made up in various fabrics. The flounced skirt is among the dressy styles, and a skirt with a deep circular flounce starting at the knees is a new idea. The latest of all is the circular skirt, which is sometimes trimmed with velvet or satin ribbon, giving the effect of a tiered skirt.
