Retread Advised For Women's Skirts
Miss Ardath Martin home demonstration agent urges Homemaker Clubs of Washington county to add a protective shield or retread in straight cut skirts. The lining preserves shape, keeps pleats neat, reduces wool scratchiness, and extends wear. Use rayon lining matched in color and cut a back pattern to fit. Retread should reach below the hipline and be stitched to side seams and waist. For sheer fabrics, retreads may be added to front and back with slight shortening. The bottom stays free to avoid puckering.
