Ladies Lounging Robe and Dressing Sack November 1900

Ladies' Lounging-Robe No. 204 T

The natural and graceful adjustment of the Kimono styles is apparent in this simply constructed wrapper. Its development included Dark-blue silk, flowered in white, combined with light and dark silk.

The fronts and back are tucked for a short distance at the top, and the extended narrow doubled collar is extended down the fronts in trimming-band fashion.

The robe laps widely, and at the top, the fronts are turned back in triangular revers. The comfortable one-seam sleeves are in loose, flowing style at the bottom, where they are completed with bands to correspond with these on the fronts.

Dressmaker Options

Japanese silk, French flannel, cashmere, wailing, albatross, etc., may be used in the reproduction of the mode. Use the material in any contrasting shade for the collar and bands.

Patten Information

The pattern, which is No. 4474 and costs 1s. or 25 cents, is in seven sizes for ladies from thirty to forty-two inches, bust measure. View this pattern again on page 596.

Ladies' Ticked Wrapper or Lounging-Robe No. 4474

No. 4474 Ladies' Ticked Wrapper or Lounging-Robe, with Bell Sleeves. (For Description see Page 604.)

This wrapper is illustrated on page 596, and in figure No. 204 T in this number of The Delineator.

Description

The style is fashioned somewhat on Kimono lines, and in this instance is shown developed in heliotrope French flannel having a sizeable flowered design in pale yellow in combination with plain flannel matching the flowers.

The back has fullness at the top taken up in a group of tucks that are stitched for a short distance below which they fall free. The fronts are tucked similarly, and the doubled collar finishing the neck is continued down the front edges of the garment in a band fashion.

At the top, the fronts are turned back in revers and below are lapped broadly. The comfortable one-seam sleeves are in bell style slightly gathered at the top and lengthened by a band similar to the one finishing the fronts.

Dressmaker Options

Blue cashmere, Henrietta or vailing will reproduce the robe attractively in combination with ribbon or silk. For wear in warm climates, dimity, cambric, challis, and soft China or India silks will be found satisfactory.

The garment will be found so comfortable and convenient, and the construction so simple, that no wardrobe should be without one. There are so many, inexpensive cotton and woolen goods suited to the mode that expense need hardly be considered.

We have pattern No. 4474 in seven sizes for ladies from thirty to forty-two inches, bust measure.

To make the wrapper for a lady of medium size will need seven yards and three-fourths of fabric twenty-seven inches wide, with a yard and seven-eighths of material twenty or more inches wide for the collar and bands.

Price of pattern, Is. or 25 cents.

Ladies' Dressing Sack No. 205 T

White silk and all-over lace are here united in the dainty dressing-sack, the decoration consisting of ribbon, lace edging, and appliqué matching the all-over lace. However, you can omit the full fronts made over fitted linings, if desired.

At the back and sides, the adjustment is smooth, the center and under-arm seams ending a short distance below the waist, and the back edges of the fronts are rounded away at the bottom.

A fanciful sailor-collar arranged to reveal the full fronts is an exciting feature, and a standing collar is at the neck. The two-seam sleeves are shaped to display the arm prettily, and the sack closes at the center, ribbon-ties drawing the fullness in at the waist.

Dressmaker Options

Blue cashmere and white silk will combine harmoniously.
