SHRUNK IN THE WASH
A dresa that has shrunk in tho wash is one of life's minor tragedies. Yet there are several ways of fixing tho matter up—by judicious cutting and inlets—so that the dress will be almost as good as new. If the dress is pulling under the arms and across the bust, cut down . the centre of the bodice and insert a little front of contrasting silk. This may be carried to tho waist, and finished off with a little belt tying at tho back. If you like you can turn the cut edges of the original frock back over the bodice like coat revers. If the sleeves have shrunk, too, slit tho sides up to tho elbows and insert material like that used in tho bodice.
