Excerpt, foreword: "It is not the most cheerful thing in the world to look over a wardrobe full of old dresses, and to decide how they can be made over so as to do duty for another season.

There are those that are so torn and worn that it seems impossible to do anything with them. There are others so soiled that they must be, either cleaned or dyed, and still others that seem hopeless cases, because they are so cut up into ruffles and trimmings, that to make them over in anything like the present style is discouraging from the very thought of the managing and the piecing that must be done.

Yet one must take hold of the matter boldly and look the situation right in the face."
