Dress for girl from 8 to 10 years of age, 1899


Navy-blue serge is a good material in which to make this 
dress, though it may, of course, be made in any other.  
Our illustrations shows a box-pleat at each side the front, 
but the pattern can be made up just as well without them 
if liked.  Fold the paper pattern over about 2 1/2 inches 
down the side where the box-pleat should come; this will 
take away the extra fulness; cut out with the pattern folded 
in this way.
In diagrams Nos. 71 and 72 we show the way of placing pattern
on the material for cutting out.  Line the skirt with sateen, 
trim the outside with two rows of braid.  The lining and material 
of the blouse are both cut to the same pattern, and are made 
up together.  The right front is finished with a box-pleast 
made up over muslin to make it firm.  Three buttonholes are 
worked in it to fasten to three buttons on the left front.
The collar is cut in double material.  It may be faced with 
another colour if preferred.  In the diagram we have arranged 
for cutting it all from the serge.  It is trimmed with two rows 
of braid, and should have an interlining of rather fine canvas 
or of muslin.
The sleeves are a small bishop shape.  the lining is cut ot the 
same shape.  Gather them at the wrists and sew into bands which 
fasten with buttons and buttonholes.  Gather the top and sew into 
the armhole, then bind the edges neatly over with a little piece 
of binding.
The singlet is of white flannel.  We give the pattern of it, but 
not the diagram.  the centre of front must be put to a fold of 
flannel to cut without join.  1/2 yard will cut two singlets.
Materials required for the dress:  3 yards material 48 inches 
wide, 3 1/2 yards sateen, 9 yards braid, and 1/2 yard flannel.
