An excerpt:
"As All-Round Skirts are now
so universally worn, a pattern of one will be found useful...These skirts are
now trimmed in various ways, the newest style being a flounce from twelve to
sixteen inches in depth, according to the height of the wearer...If the flounce
is plaited, the folds all fall in the same direction in the Russian style; if
gathered, either a heading or a ruche is added to the flounce..."
