Wrap: Here is a garment which might be made for day time or evening wear. (Fig. 76.) You can have it as elaborate or plain as you choose. If made of a fine velour and lined with brocade it would serve for both afternoon and evening. The same style would make a nice summer wrap of crepe silk. It is also suitable for the bolivia coatings. Cutting the Wrap: I have had a sample 'diagram illustrated to show you that even a wrap pattern can be fitted closely together if you take the time in placing the pieces. Fig. 77 shows the pattern placed on the goods

The pattern for the wrap placed on the goods

folded double lengthwise. Fold your goods and see how nearly you can fit the pieces together. Making the Wrap: The yoke will need re¬ inforcement of some description. If the wrap is silk, coarse lawn is sufficient, but for a cloth wrap light weight pliant canvas is none too heavy.
