- (continued from previous page)buying of the material.
Selecting the material is the first thing to be accomplished, then a lining of rich satin and also ribbon for trimming the "hood" are purchased. These are then given to a cloak-maker to be fashioned into the proper shape.
The cloak when finished is of a voluminious (fairsing) nature. From the neck to the shoulders there is a beautiful gathered or pleated yoke, and the folds hang gracefully to the hem of the skirt.
The "hood" which is attached to the neck of the cloak is also beautifully worked and trimmed with the ribbon round the "bonnet" part over the head. In cold, wet, or stormy weather this hood comprises a complete covering for the head.
