MAKE OLD PETTICOATS NEW

Detachable Flounces Also Enable One to Have an Underskirt to Match Every Dress. Decidedly practical are the tailored petticoat flounces which will give a new lease of life to the underskirt whose upper section is in good condition but whose plaitings have become frayed or shabby. The latter may be removed and the attachable petticoat flounces put on. They are made with a drawstring adjustable to the old petticoat or to the new. In width they measure about two yards and in depth about nine inches. According to one’s preference the attachable flounces are to be had in chiffon, taffeta or messaline. For the knockabout petticoat there are flounces of sateen or percaline in a variety of colors so that by merely changing the flounce to match the tone of the dress one may have, to all intents and purposes, several petticoats by merely possessing several flounces.
