SEWING CIRCLE PATTERN DEPARTMENT

IDTERE’S a very new and pracA tical kind of every day dress for you, and an adorable party frock for little girls. They’re both so easy to make that even if you’ve practically never had a needle in your hand, you can do it, and what satisfaction you’ll feel when you see them emerging from your hands! Each is accompanied by a step-by-step sew chart that explains everything. Little Girl’s Party Frock. You can make your small daughter so happy (and do it so easily) by making her this basque frock with the rippling skirt and contrasting bands. She’s sure to be the belle of the party whenever she wears it. Bright little appliques bloom all round the hem of the very full skirt—hearts or tulips, whichever you prefer. Taffeta, silk crepe, organdy or batiste are pretty materials for this. Button-Front Day Dress. This is a new type of dress that yo'uTl feel particularly well in, and wear endlessly for shopping and runabout. It’s very nice to your figure, because it has tucks on the shoulders and just above the waist, to fill out the bustline. The skirt is slim over the hips and slightly flaring. The sleeves are smartly upped at the shoulders. It’s a style you’ll want right now, in thin wool, a pretty print, or flat crepe—and later on, for summer, in such cottons as gingham or linen.
