Ladies Attractive Bodices 182 T & 183 T - 1900

Ladies' Jacket-Basque No. 182 T

The fancy Court sleeves give a distinctive touch to this novel jacket-basque, for which black velvet was used here in connection with white and light-blue silk.

The trimming, which consists of tinsel braid and gilt buttons, is artistically arranged, and adds a becoming note of color. The jacket is smoothly adjusted and shows to advantage the full, shallow back-yoke and pouching fronts.

A high standing collar, over which is worn a stock in similar outline, is at the neck, and a shaped belt encircles the waist, which is cut to give the popular Hebe bust, an effect that is now so much sought.

The sleeves are in Court style, the upper sleeve extending to the elbow, where it is finished with a turn-back cuff and separated from the drooping lower portion by a full puff. The whole is mounted on a two-seam lining, and the wristband closes invisibly.

Dressmaker Options

Periwinkle-blue taffeta and Chantilly lace will develop attractively by the mode. Irish poplin and satin Liberty with bands of Russian or Cluny lace will be stylish.

Broadcloth in one of the pastel hues in combination with silk mull and decorated with velvet baby-ribbon and fancy silk cord will be found very satisfactory.

Pattern Information

The pattern, which is No. 4475 and costs 9d. or 20 cents, is in seven sizes for ladies from thirty to forty-two inches, bust measure, and is pictured differently on page 603.

Ladies' Basque Blouse No. 183 T

Black velvet trimmed with white lace appliqué, and light silk are here united in the charming blouse.

The jaquette, is short and is wide apart at the front, and the blouse is characterized by a plaited hack and full pouching fronts that produce the Juno bust effect which is now the popular fancy.

A high stock worn over a standing collar and a fancy belt finish the neck and blouse, respectively.

The full gathered sleeves are very fanciful, being shaped to accommodate deep cap and cuff facings that accord with the jaquette in material and decoration. At the wrist, the sleeve forms a point that extends prettily over the hand.

Dressmaker Options

Fancy taffeta associated with Cluny lace will reproduce the mode handsomely. Peau de cygne and foulard, with velvet baby-ribbon and quilling of mousseline for trimming will also be attractive. A blouse of blue crêpe de Chine and ecru lace has a stock and belt of Liberty ribbon.

The fancy Court sleeves are a distinguishing feature of the mode, which is shown made of Yale-blue Lansdowne associated with white silk and decorated with narrow black velvet ribbon and beading through which ribbon is run.

The jacket has a smooth hack that is shaped to display a full shallow yoke, and the fronts, in similar outline at the top, have rounding lower corners and flare stylishly over full fronts.

The Basque proper is shaped to have the fashionable Marie Antoinette slip in front, the lower edge being completed with a narrow belt, and a conventional standing collar over which is worn ä separate stock finishes the neck.

The fancy Court sleeves consist of a short one-seam sleeve that terminates at the elbow, where it is completed with a pointed turn-back cuff, and a close-fitting two-seam lining on which is mounted a deep and a shallow puff that droop at the outside of the arm and are finished with a wide wristband.

If desired, a plain two-seam sleeve may be substituted, as shown in the small illustrations.

Description

On page 605, and at figure No. 183 T of this magazine, this blouse is illustrated (top Image, right side of this page).

Blue foulard is charmingly combined with ecru all-over lace in making the blouse, with chiffon plaitings, beading and black velvet baby-ribbon for garniture. The full gathered fronts puff out in the new way and close at the center, and the back has slight plaited fulness at the bottom.

A modish jaquette is a distinguishing feature of the design and is adjusted with shoulder and under arm seams and shaped to reveal prettily the fronts.

The sleeve is in full one-seam style gathered at the top and bottom and shaped to reveal a deep cap and cuff facing, the latter extending in a point over the hand; it is made over a two-seam lining that may be used for a plain sleeve, if desired.

A standing collar highest at the back, over which a stock in similar outline is worn, gives neck completion, and the blouse, which is made over a smooth lining displays the becoming dip in front and the fashionable Juno bust effect. A belt of ribbon gives the final touch.

Dressmaker Options
