STRAPS FOR PLUMP SHOULDERS.
Not ail of us possess willowy figures, and the owner of plump shoulders usually suffers from the inconvenience of broken shoulder straps. If she tries • to avoid this by sewing on extra strong ; straps, too often the straps part comi pany with the garment at the back and ! make an ugly rent. Here is a way to j overcome this difficulty. Take two > lengths of ribbon and stitch them toi gether along the outer edges b' mai chine—on the right side. Insert an i elastic through the ribbon which will ; draw up the shoulder straps slightly, and then stitch to the garment in the 1 ordinary way. The elastic in the ! double straps will carry all the strain I as it is flexible, and you will also find j these straps very much prettier than the ordinary plain ones.
