Tliis formis in the very slender shape with the narrowness below the knees and is especially adaptedto this style termed Hobble Skirt. The drape as shown in the drawing is of a piece of polka-dot satin, draped smoothlyover the upper part of the form and allowed to drape in natural fullness to the floor. To get the hobble efifect it will be necessary to gather a wide band of satin about theform below the knees. Tliis band should be the same color as the polka-dots in the silk. The front of the upper part of the drape is finished off with a bow of ribbon with alength of it suspended in pendant form.
