Description
Figure No. 323A. - This illustrates a Ladies' wrapper. The pattern which is no. 4648 and costs 1s. 6d. or 35 cents, is in thirteen sizes for ladies from thirty to forty-eight inches, bust measure, and may be seen differently devloped on page 110 of this Delineator.
The wrapper, which is in the popular Princess style, is here shown attractively made up in figured challis and changeable silk. It is closely adjusted and is particularly well adapted to stout ladies, its wide under-arm gores fitted by long under-arm darts giving a slender effect to the waist. The back of the skirt is in a bell stye and is fashioned with a demi-train, and has underfolded fulness below the waist-line of the middle three seams. The fronts are closed to a desirable depth with button-holes and buttons, and below the closing they are tacked securely. The sleeves fit smoothly below the elbow, and gathers at the top cause them to arch stylishly over the shoulders. The wrists are trimmed with deep cuff-facings of silk. At the neck is a turn-down collor of silk, beneath which a silk scarf trimmed with point de Gene lace is passed and bowed at the throat. The foot of the wrapper is attractively trimmed with pinked ruffles of silk, a double row shirring being made short distance from the edge of the upper ruffle to form a tiny frill at the top. If a wrapper of round length be preferred, the train may be cut off.
