Careful Designs for Youngsters'
Costumes In this day and age clothes for tiny tots are as carefully designed, and as much the inspiration of artists as are their grownup _sister's and brother's, Every type of youngster has been considered and infinite tenderness and understanding has been put into the designing of their sew clothes.
Little hand-made garments are as ever the choice of many mothers, and these are fashioned of a much finer batiste than was ever used before.
Their daintiness leaves a lasting impression, for the embroideries are exquisite, lace and drawn work are very effectively used, and also tiny pin tucks and French knots are much in evidence.
The cunningest little capes for babies are fashioned of organdie and show as their trimmings, real lace edgings, pin tucks and feather stiching. Organdie has proved more successful than Batiste for bonnets too, as this material with its crisp daintiness retains its shape.
When baby goes to a party she is dressed in pastel shades or white and though her choice in colours is limited, she does insist that her little frock be fashioned of either dotted swiss, organdie, crepe de chine or French voile. She is not limited to one trimming either, but may have it embroidered hemstitched, or smocked this season, or if she prefers, lace edging, self ruffles, or applique.
