Flaps are placed on the skirts, cut with three pointed flaps, with a button placed under each point, which should be nearly hidden. Occasionally the points of the flaps are put upwards, the flaps in that case being put half above and half below the waist seam.

Lace is often used along the edges, along the top and down the back of the cuffs, down the sideseams and pleats, and down each back; finished with cushion or diamond.

Sometimes the cuffs are slashed, the slash being 6 inches long and finished with lace and three buttons.

The cuff, in that case, is 3 inches deep; the slash is put 1½3 inches from forearm seam.

The fronts are either braided or finished with notched holes, 6 inches wide at top and 3 inches wide at bottom.
