The fixturesused are a pedestal and a large vase. Who ever imagined a vase would enter into asilk drape?In the small drawing No. 1 is shown how the bolt of silk is folded in folds about thirtyinches long and gathered in at one end and fastened very tight with a cord. This end is theninserted into the neck of the vase No. 2, and this in turn is placed on top of pedestal orstand No. 3. The bolt can just as well be fastened to a wooden upright stand with a good heavybase as to be placed in a vase. After a trimmer has the fundamental idea i how thisdrape is made he can use his own method of constructing Drape 15 In Drawing No. 4, you will notice at once how this small liolt of silk has been pulledand spread out to make a large ball-shaped affair. This is really a very beautiful thingwhen made in silk, as the light is caught in the many folds and intensifies the beautifullustre and coloring of the silk. At the base of the vase and on top of the pedestal are seen drapes of silk dropped tothe floor and puffed into different sized loops. The finish shown in the drawing is verygood, although any trimmer can originate other ways of working up a trim for the lowerpart. Only one drape of this kind should be used in a window, as it will then show up to great-er advantage in contrast with the other drapes of different construction. This drape is particularly good for taffeta silk or any other silk of about the same stiff-ness. Wash goods could also be made into this same drape. 35 Latkr Examplfs
