Winter Cloak
We give this month, for our popular department, "How to Make One's Own Dresses", a pattern for a fashionable winter cloak, just received from Paris. The above engraving represents this graceful cloak when made up. On the next page is a diagram, by which to cut out the cloak, as follows:

No. 1. PART OF FRONT
No. 2. PART OF BACK
No. 3. THE SHOULDER PIECE
No. 4. PART OF SLEEVE
No. 5. THE HOOD


The front is so long we cannot give the whole of it. It must be, as marked in the diagram, thirty-seven inches long in front; and twenty-five inches on the side, measuring from the arm-hole down. Neither can we give the whole of the back, but from D down it should be thirty-three inches long, and from K down, twenty-five inches. The shoulder piece and hood are given entire. To cut out the sleeve (the top of which is from E to A A) project downward from A A and H until the lines meet.
In putting it together, join A and C of the front to A and C of the shoulder piece. Join A and M of the shoulder piece; and plait from M to B of the back to M to B of the shoulder piece. To put in the sleeve, join E of the sleeve to E of the front, and A A of the sleeve to A of the front.

Milan Pelisse Milan Pelisse pattern Milan Pelisse pattern 2
The Milan Pelisse
This Pelisse, which is destined to be all the rage for this fall, has been named, in Paris, "THE MILAN," after the capital of Lombardy. We give, in the front of this number, an engraving of it, and add, on this and the next page, diagrams by which to cut it out. The Pelisse is made of black silk trimmed all round with a chicory ruche, with the middle of colored silk. In the back there are three large, hollow plaits; in front two on each side: these plaits are slightly held in about the waist by a silk ribbon placed inside; the sleeve is trimmed by a chicory ruche, has at top a jockey formed by five bias pieces, which are made with the pattern marked No. 3. Round the hollow part at the shoulders, a deep fringe with guipure head or wide lace may be added.

NO. 1. FRONT OF THE PELISSE
NO. 2. SLEEVE, SEWED ONLY IN THE UPPER PART, THE BOTTOM BEING LEFT OPEN AND LOOSE.
NO. 3. PIECE OF SILK CUT IN BIAS, INTENDED FOR THE BIAS PIECES OF THE JOCKEY ON THE SLEEVE.

SECOND DIAGRAM
NO. 1. TOP OF THE BACK OF PELISSE.
NO. 2. BOTTOM OF THE BACK. The sheet not being large enough, we have been compelled to cut the pattern in two. Our readers are requested to join them along the line which is marked Z.

Of course, patterns are to be enlarged, as is usual, to the size marked in inches on our diagram.
