description: A vintage World War II home economics manual.The new revised edition of Fabrics and Dress has been written with a twofold purpose: (1) to help pupils develop an appreciation of the artistic, economic, and hygienic values involved in the selection of clothing and household fabrics, and (2) to help pupils develop high standards for the construction and care of clothing. At the present time the girl who can make or remodel her own clothes has not only the satisfaction of successful accomplishment at small cost, but she also enjoys the knowledge that she is doing her part in the war effort. At no time has intelligent care of clothing been more important than it is at present.
