This costume, as shown, is suited for either boy or girl. Draft by chest measure. Only one-half the skirt is given, as both sides are alike.

In making up, use half inch seams.

1½ spaces for hem on Vest. Sew Vest on front on line marked on line drawn from 2¾ on top measure line to 4 at the bottom of vest.

Work the button holes in the right side of the vest, sewing buttons on the left side.

There need be no button holes with buttons on either side of vest. If desired, a double row of machine stitching may be used at each side of the front at edge next to vest.

The front in draft is made so as to omit vest, if desired, and make plain front.

If vest is used, cut goods on line marked 1¼ at neck, and 2½ at bottom.

If plain do not cut on this line, but use base line for front edge.

The pocket is merely a strip sewed on, but the pocket can be put in if desired.

If made for a girl, omit pocket.

If desired, narrow braid or machine stitching around sleeves to form cuff, gives the suit a nice finish. In such cases omit the cuff drafted for it. Lay a box plait in front of skirt, making the line 61 to 60⅜ from the cut edge of plait, placing this line at 56 at the top, and on the point at 57 at the bottom to form plait. Place 55 on 51¾ at top and 55¼ on 51¾ at the bottom all others are formed to form next plait in like manner.

Any other style of plaits desired may be used. The skirt is a plain strip of goods length and width desired, and can be cut without draft being made and plaits laid in the goods.
