We give here a Hungarian walking-coat, the most fashionable affair out this season; a long, close-fitting coat, to be made of cloth braided. Our illustrations show both back and front. The letters and notches show how the pieces are to be put together. The front is to be fitted with darts for the bust; and for some ladies another dart may be required, near the arm seam. The dotted lines on the skirt of the back show where the plaits are to be laid, which fold under the back-seam, giving the proper fullness to the skirt of the coat. In cutting out this garment - or any other, for that matter, that we give - the pieces should be cut first out of some old muslin, and then fitted to the lady who is to wear it, before cutting into the cloth, allowing for seams, etc. It must be lengthened or shortened in the skirt part, to suit the height of the wearer. As may be seen, it is a rather long coat. Black or dark blue cloth, trimmed with black braid, will be more stylish than any other color. A row of braid edges the entire coat. The brandebourgs trimming the front, which there are five, as will be seen, can be made at home with frog-buttons and tubular braid; but it is better, perhaps, to buy or order them from a city store, if convenient, as they are more durable.
