Pattern Body Sizes
Now Standardized

TIL next time the homemaker
flips the pages of pattern book to
find Just the right" pattern, she
should take heed She will notice
that all the major pattern compa-
MES have adopted a new standard
of measurements
This new standard of measure
mcnts is presented in chart form
in the pattern catalogs, says La
vonia Hilbert, University of Mary
land extension clothing specialist.
The standard has been approved
by the Measurement Standard COM
mittcc of the pattern industry
Miss Hilbert states that not all
patterns in the catalogS show the
new measurements, but many OF
them do-and the new ones added
each month will show the new
measurements. The measurements
given are body measurements-not
garment measurements. This means
that these are the measurements
you take on your own body In adj
dition to the body measurement,
the finished garment always has
some ease allowed This is so
that the garment may be worn
comfortably, the specialist adds.
After reading the new chart in
the catalogs-this is the way to use
it:
First, be sure you know what
your correct measurements are.
When in doubt, take measurements.
Then, find your measurements on
the chart and buy the size pattern
that corresponds to your measure
ments. If you are choosing a dress,
blouse. suit, or coat pattern, your
bust measurement will determine
the size you need.
If it is a separate skirt, Stacks or
shorts you want to make, your
waist measurement will determine
your pattern size. There's one eX-
ception: If your hips are larger
than shown for that size, select
your pattern size by hip measure
ment skirt, Stacks or shorts only.
Once you have found your prop
er size on the catalog chart, that
is the size you should buy in any
and all of the patterns shown in
the catalog, says the clothing spe-
cialist.
Your new clothes you make will
look better than ever, claims Miss
Hilbert. If you take your measure
ments correctly, and choose your
correct pattern size, you're ready
to cut and sew!
