Buying A Pattern
In home dressmaking, the first
principle of success is to start with
the right size pattern. The wrong
size pattern means a waste of good
material and an unnecessary amount
of fitting. 1t only takes a fraction Of
minute to be measured, and it saves
you the possibility of any trouble and
extra work
You ought to be measured each time
you buy a pattern. Don't be meas
ured over old carelessly fitting dresses
and old worn corsets. Put on the
things you are going to wear under
your new dress. Lace your clothes
properly 1t may make difference
of one or two inches in your waist
and hip measure. Have your meas
urements taken over a waist and
skirt. Your bust measure should be
taken easily, but not snugly over the
fullest part of the bust, close up under
the arm and across the back.
Your waist measure should he taken
snugly, but not tightly, at your nor
NAL waist line. Don't think because
you are going to buy a pattern with a
raised waist line that you should take
your measure at your raised waist
line. The waist measure given with
any pattern is the measure of the
lower edge of the finished belt which
comes at the normal waist line.
Your arm measure should be taken
easily around the arm, just below the
Iarmhole.
Your hip measure should be taken
easily but not snugly, seven inches
below your normal waist line. In Luy-
ing a pattern for a skirt have both
your waist and hip measures taken
carefully. Compare your measure
ments with the table of waist and hip
measurements given on the pattern
envelope Buy your pattern by the
measurement recommended on pat
tern envelope.
After you have bought your pattern,
buy your material, guided by the
quantities given on the pattern enve-
lope In buying material for ladies'
