IDEAS IN SEPARATE SKIRTS

Garment Practically Indispensable and a Wide Choice of Materials May Be Made. If you would profit by the example of French tailors, you will order separate skirts of one of the following materials: First, a double-faced cloth that has leaped into important place is being used. It practically trims itself, and will be very popular for this economical reason. Then there are cheviots and serges for light-weight models, and all colors are in vogue, the neutral shades and dark blue leading. Heavy fancy suitings are very popular. The English tweeds and mixed suitings are having a tremendous favoritism shown them by the leading houses. Tailored skirts are not so straight in outline, many showing slashed effects at the side, and _all are made walking length. Some have a slightly -aised waisthand, so that no belt is needed, while others show, a normal line, with a stitched band attached to the skirt. On others a back panel is attached, with a modified front edge that extends towards the front, thus forming a belt or girdle.
