 THE VERY LATEST APRON TRAIN.

The very latest Apron Train is one which is put on as an apron.

The accompanying diagram is a reduced model of one that will fit lady 24 waist 40 seat.

For larger or smaller sizes, reproduce by graduated tape 4 inches smaller than seat measure, as this skirt is marked out by the 36 tape for a 40 seat.

Adjust waist by V's, adjust length at bottom.

The details of making and finishing this skirt are all embodied in the diagram.

As will be seen there are quite a number of button holes, and buttons have to be sewn on to the Breeches or Trousers to correspond with these.

First, there is a hole at the centre of waist at front; then there are holes down the back of both right and left sides, all of which correspond with buttons sewn down the seat of the trousers, the Habit covering these up.

A hole is put at the top of the corner of the flap at left side, which fastens to a button put on the inside of the left leg.

A gusset is put in at the side of this flap to provide spring for left thigh.

To make this presentable when off the horse, the flap of the left side is brought over to the right side, and fastened by a swivel and ring.

The position of elastics, pocket upturn, etc., are all clearly marked on diagram.

GAITERS. Diagram 324.

This drawing of Gaiters will serve as a useful model.

Variations in length can easily be adjusted between calf and bottom.

Alterations in size at the back seam.

Seams are placed up front and back, and button through at the sides. Footstraps go under the foot.
