This Polonaise consists of five pieces: Back, Side Back, Front and two Sleeve portions,

Cut back and side back upon the general plan of work.

Cut the right front on the line running diagonal from 13½ on the fourth cross measure line down to 17⅛.

Cut the left front straight as shown by the line running from 17⅛ on third cross measure line to 17⅛ on tenth cross line.

In making up this costume lay two double box plaits in buck as shown by the figures,

Joint front and side form, pressing the seams carefully.

Lay four side plaits on each front as shown in draft by the points, cut in on space between 17⅛; and 18⅛; sew in the four plaits and press carefully.

Loop up the back with one or two loops as desired,

Drape back and front so the lower drapery is even.

Bring the drapery on side back up in five plaits as shown by the lines between 12⅝ and 32¾. The distance from 12⅛ to 19 (on base line), forms one plait, the center being at 16½, 19 to 24 forming another; but it is easier to plait up from the bottom, beginning with 33 to 28 and ending with 19 to 12⅝.

The skirt is a plain skirt with a row of plaiting at the bottom. Use any kind of buttons and ornaments desired,

Set the buttons on left front.

(No instructions are given in running seams, as it is deemed unnecessary.)
