POP— Indirect Watching By J. MILLAR WATT Make Flared Skirt For Dressing Table By RUTH WYETH SPEARS CJOW to cut a flared dressing L 1 table skirt without fullness at the top, is something worth know ing. You may be making a smartly tailored affair of white pique with pink bindings and but tons, like the one shown here; or an under lining for a full skirt of transparent material. The diagram shows how to make a pattern for half of the ' ’ skirt. The center front may be placed on a fold of the goods in cutting if there is no front open ing. Cut the paper by the dimen sions in the diagram. Mark point A in 14-inches from the upper left corner. Measure up from the lower right corner a distance equaling the length of the skirt from A to the left edge of the paper and mark point C. Connect these points with lines drawn, as shown. • * * NOTE: The new 32-page edi tion of Book 1—“Sewing for the Home Decorator,” shows three other interesting styles of dress ing tables, with detailed directions for making.
