STANDARD DRESS MADE
FROM ORDINARY PATTERNS
New Form of WOmen's Clothing
is Comfortable and Does away
with Wearing of Corset

To make the standardized dress
for women or the dress Uniform
in style, an ordinary commercial
pattern may be used as a basis.
Select a plain f~ore-gore skirt pat
tern opening in the front. This
pattern should be from two and
one half to three yards around
the bottom.
The skirt, according to it's de.
signer, Miss Ethel Ronzone, in
structor in home economics in
the University of Missouri at
Columbia, is simply constructed
with a plat down the front and
one bias seam in the back that
should be stayed by the use Of d
piece Of tape, to keep it from
stretching. The top of the skirt
may be made into a band with
buttonholes to fasten it to an I'M
derwaist made of thin material.
In making wash dresses it is con-
venient to open the skirt all the
way down the front.
The waist may be made from a
plain fitting shirt-waist pattern
The back and front are length
ened the desired amount, from
ten to fourteen inches below the
waist line. The under arm in the
back is dropped straight down
from the arms eye, while in
front it is sloped out about two
inches at the bottom. Care
should be taken to check up the
bottom width of the jacket with
the hip measure taken that far
down. In making the jacket sim
ply hem it up the front and
around the bottom. Put a pock-
ct on either side for convenience.
The collars and cuffs may be
either made on the waist or sep
arate. If made separate they
should be made to fasten on with
snaps. For convenience in
removing, the belt must not be
made so tight that it gives a
drawn in appearance at the
waist. The belt is held in place
by keepers on either side of the
under seam and may be raised
or lowered to suit the figure.
The shirt-waist sleeve may be
used with or without a cuff. Fol
warm weather the sleeves may
be shortened, but never above
2 the elbow. In making the Other
type Of waist, which is suitable
: for older figures, the same pat.
} tern may be used and the top Of
the skirt will serve for the pep.
lum. This will have to be wild.
; ened one inch on either gore t.
allow a little fullness. Here thu
lower part of the waist and The
peplum are fixed into a loose
belt. A yoke and fullness in the
form of gathers or plaits may b.
added to either waist.
) This style of dress is especially
7 good as it is comfortable whe1
worn without a corset. Thi.
means that when it is adopted W.
win be doing away with one o.
the most unhygenic factors il
! women's dress. The materials
! most successfully used in thi.
$ costume are those that are op
e aque in character. The trans
parent materials are not success
full, neither are they modest no.
! durable so they should go, alonl
: with other waste production
such as trimmings and other Or
u laments.
