DRESS FOR THE BUSINESS GIRL.
A neat dress for the business girl is, again, the subject of one of our sketches on this page. For practical purposes the dress should be of navy serge, and the bands of trimming on the sleeves and at the neck of black silk braid, while the little buttons and simulated buttonholes might be of black satin. The more convenient plan, in making up the dress, is to join together the skirt and bodice, covering the union
with a serge belt, so that the dress is slipped on all in one. The fastening is arranged at the left side, and is invisable; but, if preferred, the ornamental buttons and buttonholes might be used for the actual fastening. The skirt is designed with a deep hem, put on with a piping, and at the neck is a vest, with collarband attached, of coarse washing lace.
