An elaborate butterfly costume for an adult-sized slipover
recommends three folds of crepe and three pieces of
butterfly border.
A Carnival or Miss May Pole Lass costume for a six year old
recommended three folds of pink, one fold of blue, one fold of
violet, one fold of amber, two pieces of wire No.15 for the hoop
and one spool No. 2 wire for suspenders attached to the hoop.
A multitude of costumes
could be made from a
"slipover" base with the
crepe sewn or glued
together. The finished
costume was then draped
over street clothes or a
simple frock.
