HOW TO MAKE DRESSES
Braid and Tassel Trimming: If soutache braid is slip-stitched on in a circle and a tassel hung from the center, it makes a smart motif for trimming a silk street dress. (See Fig. 23.) These motifs are usually placed in a diamond pattern over the entire skirt about eight inches apart, as polka dots are printed on a fabric.

Girdles: The Fig. 24 shows a plain girdle of a taffeta frock with a double-faced satin ribbon tied around the center.
