Low bodices are now chiefly worn at balls; but at dinner-parties they may be seen when the wearer intends being present at some large evening party afterwards. Our model is among the newest from Paris; it is white silk, and the folds, or bretelles, are of colored crepe. The pattern consists of five pieces: 1. Front ; 2. Half of Back ; 3. Side-piece ; 4. Sleeve ; and 5. Half of bretelle. The bretelle is laid on the front of the bodice, so as to simulate a waistcoat. Half of the bretelle is only given, and the back and front are the same as far as the waist. The basque on the side-piece is laid in a single plait, and that of the back is laid in a box-plait, and not joined on the side-piece. The perforated lines marked on the front point out the two darts. The bodice fastens on front with buttons and button-holes. The buttons should match the dress in color. The first toilet is a combination of embroidered gauze and satin; the second is made of tulle over white silk, and ornamented with flowers and faille ribbon.
