Well, just look at this pretty set of underwear, and read what is written about them, and see if you can make a set for dolly.
The nightdress, chemise, flounced petticoat and the knickers are made of nainsook, and the plain petticoat of fine flannel.
You have a little article on [page 83] telling you how to cut out the garments from paper patterns.
The Nightdress.
We will commence with the little nightdress. The seams of this are joined with what is called a run-and-fell seam. Lay the two edges to be joined over one another, placing the edge of the upper portion just below the edge of the under one, and run them together, about an eighth of an inch in from the upper edge. When you have finished running the seam, you turn the edge of the under portion over the upper edge, and fold the seam down flat and hem it (or fell it) along. This is shown in your illustration of the seam. The side you have hemmed is the wrong side of the seam.
DOLLY’S NIGHTDRESS.
When you have joined both the seams, make a half-inch hem round the bottom of the nightdress, and make the very tiniest of hems round the neck and sleeve edges.
To trim your night-gown you will want a little lace edging with a beading at the top that you can thread a piece of narrow ribbon through. Hem the edging along the hems you have made at the neck and sleeve edges, then thread in the ribbons with a bodkin, and draw them up to the size for dolly’s neck and wrists.
