O. 1896. ...by. H. P. EVAN CO., CHICAGO, ILL. / 1 V f 7 ^ oooo DirattrdDdliUKsttndDini oooo ,. ■ , ■?;- ■* - The Standard Tailor System consists of a Tailor's Square, a set of Thirty-four Scales and In- struction book, also a set of Object Lesson Appliances, consisting of an Object Lesson Square, five Object Lesson Scales and two Object Lesson Rulers. The Tailor's Square has joined to its inner edge a set of curves used instead of a compass to obtain curves for outlines, and these curves are lettered in alphabetic order. The square is also marked showing which way the ends of the square are to point, and character on each side ot the square indi- cate which side is to be used, and these are again given in the diagrams to aid the learner in finding the proper curves without study or loss of time. The Scales number from 18 to 51 and show by their numbers, the number of inches they represent, and are, without a doubt, the most comprehensive and complete Scales ever offered to the public. The Book of Instruction contains Object Lessons, Illustrations and Diagrams of ladies' gentlemen's, children's and infants' garments. The Object Lesson Square, Scales and Rulers are to aid the learner in self-instruction and together with the Object Lessons to act as the ever ready teacher. The method of teaching by Object Lessons and by Object Lesson Appliances through the Instruction Book is entireiy new and a marvel of simplicit\ r . It makes" drafting so easy to learn that anyone, even with a very limited learning and moderate ability, can learn to use the svstem successfully in a very short time. There are no problems to work and nothing to commit to memory, consequently nothing to forget. With the Standard Tailor System all styles of garments can be cut from the daintiest Infant's slipper and the most artistic and stylish ladies' garments, to boy's jackets and men's shirts and pants, making the System complete for family use as well as for the professional cutter. Books giving new styles will be published as often as styles demand. For further information address: H. P. EVAN CO., Central Office, Chicago, III. General Supply Office, Winneconne, Wis. THE STANDARD TAILOR SYSTEM. Directions for Taking Measures. To take correct measures is very essential, rt is evident that however accurate a system of garment cutting is, a correct result cannot be obtained from incorrect measures. Difficult measures have been avoided and with a little care the necessary measures may be taken cor- rectly by any one. All desired adjustments of the figure should be made before proceeding to take measures. All measures are taken outside of garments for which measured. If measures are not taken outside of cloaks, jackets or coats, draft by scale one size larger than measure. /. Bust Measure. Pass the tape Hue over fullest part of the bust, close up under the arms and a little over the shoulder blades, take a smooth measure, neither tight nor loose. 2. Waist Measure. Pass the tape line around the smallest part of the waist, draw it tight. 3 Length of Waist at Front. From point of collar to waist as low as can be worn. 4. Length of Under=Arm. Let the person measured hold the arm down in a natural position ; measure from under the arm as high as garment can be worn, but not too high, and directly down to waist-line. If measuring for outside garments, cloaks or jackets, take this measure a little shorter. 5 Length of Back. Take length of waist in the back from prominent neck bone to bottom of waist. EXTRA MEASURES. While the foreging are the necessary measures for all Basques and Waists, yet the following four ad- ditional measures may be taken by people of experience, but these are difficult measures to take, and the unex- perienced are advised to avoid them, as they are not necessary for this system. Diagrams are provided for differentlv developed figures and give the same result as correctly taken measures. 6. Width of Chest. Let the person measured stand naturally erect, measure across chest from arm's-eye to arm's-eye. 7. Width of Back. In same position as above, measure across the back about one-halfway between shoulder point and depth of arm's-eye. 8. Length of Shoulder. From neck to length desired, 9. Height of Darts. Measure from waist line to raise of bust. ADDRESS: H. P. EVAN CO., CHICAGO, ILL., AND WINNECONNE, WIS. Sleeve Measures. 10. Length of Sleeve. Stand a little at the back of the person measured, place tape line at arm's-eye and run it down inside seam to elbow and on to wrist, or to length desired, noting length at elbow. //. Muscle Measure. Take this measure around the fleshy part of the arm, about one half way between elbow and shoulder to width desired. 12. Elbow Measure. Holding the arm curved, measure around the elbow to desired width, 13. Wrist Measure. Measure around the hand or wrist to width desired. Skirt rieasures. 14. flip. Measure over dress, around the fullest part of the Hips, quite snugly. 15. Length of Front. From waist to floor or length desired, 16. Length of Side. From waist to floor or desired length. 17. Length of Back. From waist to floor or length desired. Tea=Gowns and Wrappers. For these garments the measures of the basque and skirt are combined. Measure Front and Back from the neck, and, noting the length of the Waist, pass the tape line on to the desired length of the garment. Also at the Under-Arm notice the length of the waist, and pass the tape line on to length desired. All the other measures are the same as for the basque. The principals for drafting are also the same as those of the basque and skirt. Collars and Cuffs. 18 Collars. If Neck measure is used for collars, measure around the neck where collar will come, as tightly or looselv as fit is desired, Cuffs. For cufts apply wrist measure, If any measures are used for auxiliary parts of any garments, such as waist-bands, wrist-bands, plaits, &c, use same as for body of garment. THE STANDARD TAILOR SYSTEM. Instructions for Drafting. HI. In drafting select scale by Bust or Breast measure for all garments for upper part of figure, .-mil bv hip measure tor all garments tor lower part of figure. 112. For all Wrappers, Tea-gowns, Night Robes, &c, where the upper and lower parts of the garment are drafted together, draft the entire garment by scale corresponding with Bust measure. 113. Draft all parts of one garment by same scale For example: Sleeves, Cuffs, Revers, Lapels. Pockets, Bands and all auxiliary parts are drafted by same number of scale as body of garment. 114. Usescale "A" on all Base-lines and all lines running lengthwise of garments. 115. Use scale "B" on all lines running at right angle from baseline, and lines running crosswiseofgarments. 116. Small scale at edge of scale "B" is never used unless "S. Sc." is marked at a number of inches as ^ + sc on Waist line of Object Lesson No. 5. H7. Where a circle is around any figure, place same figure of scale "B" on the last taken point, as on waist- line of Object Lesson No. 5, where No. 3 of scale "B" is placed on waist-line at the 2 * |£- point, or where the en- circled figured is close to base-line, place same figure of scale "B" on base line, as in Object Lesson No. 7, where point oof scale "B" is placed on base-line. 118. Use curved edge of square for all outlines. Place square so that marks of the side, the arrows and the letters correspond with those in the diagrams. All itnmarked lines are made by the straight edges of the square. Ladies Skirts ARE AN EXCEPTION TO PARAGRAPH^. ".). Draft upper part of skirts by paragraphs 4 and 5, but where scales liigher than No. 31 are used, use scale "A" on the bottom line to determine width of skirt at the bottom. This refers to Ladies' Skirts Only and this paragraph will be referee! to at each diagram where it is to be applied. ADDRESS : H. P. EVAN CO.. CHICAGO, ILL., AND WINNECONNE, WIS. General Directions. Great care should be used in tracing and basting. It would be well to remember that accuracy is as assen- tial in both tracing and basting as in drafting. 1. Tracing. If paper is used to draft on, pin pattern securely on material, placing base-line when unmarked straight with the lengthwise edge or lengthwise thread of the material, and if marked with two it place base- line straight with crosswise thread or edge of material, and if marked with three H$ on bias edge of material. And if base-line is marked with one * place it on lengthwise fold, if marked with two * * on crosswise fold and if marked with three *** on bias fold of material. In tracing Basques, Tea-Gowns &c, place pattern with base-line either lengthwise or crosswise of lining, and place closing edges, either for front or back closing far enough in from edge of lining for turning under, and one quarter inch for closing lap; or if under facingis pre- fered, allow besides the seam one-quarter inch for lapping at the closing. Trace all outlines and all notch-marks and waist-lines,— always trace the waist-line. 2. CUTTING. Having drafted b} T actual measures noseams are allowed, therefore in cutting out garments always cut the desired width of seams and hems outside of the tracing except the neck and the arm's— eyes, where the tracing is followed. Cut notches at all notch-marks. 3. BASTING ON LINING. In basting lining on dress goods locate each piece of lining on goods as it was located in the draft, that is, let thread in cloth run parallel, or straight, with threads in lining. In all tight fitting garments having a waist-line, baste through the waist-line first, and hold the lining loose on the goods for about an inch each side of the waist-line, so as to have outside fit smoothly over curve of figure. Also hold lining loose on dress-goods on front shoulder and a little loose on back shoulder and at side-form curve of back from 3 or 4 inches down the seam up to arm's-eye at point 16, third line. DARTS. Hold lining together at top of darts to take in a quarter or three-eighths of an inch to prevent extra fullness at top of darts. On French darts or French Bias dart take in from one-half to five-eighths inch at top of darts. 4. BASTING TOGETHER. In basting together waists, basques, tea-gown, or any other garments hav- ing a waist-line, always start basting at the waist-line, placing the waist-line tracings together and bastinsj up, pinning upper part of seam together to make upper end of seam meet perfectly, and in some manner baste down from the waist-line. Baste darts from the top and pav no attention to the waist-line tracing, and cut darts out. In basting closing edges, allow one-quarter inch outside of tracing for lap in closing, whether gar- ments are closed in the front or in the back. Stretch front shoulder to length of back shoulder never cut it off . If neck fits snugly stretch it. Always place a one-half or three-quarters inch bias band at the neck of all Children's and Infants' garments before join- ing collars or trimming to neck, unless othewise directed or prefered. SLEEVES. .Gather sleeves between notches and place tight-fitting sleeve with outside seam to side-form seam point 16 third line, loose-fitting sleeves without lining with front notch to notch in front arm 's-eve at point 16, third line. A belt should always be fastened to the inside of all basques and waists a little above the straight waist- line at the back. THE STANDARD TAILOR SYSTEM. Object Lesson No. I. In these Object Lessons the student is requested to use the Object Lesson Square, and Scale No. 2. and to go over the diagram of" each lesson with the square and scale as the work progresses, just as if" making the draft, (but without marking,) and not to slight any part, because it is "too easy." Object lessons Nos. 1, 2 and 3, treat on front of Ladies tight-fitting basque drafted to measure given in the lessons. Object Lesson No. 1 teaches application of scale "A". (See Paragraphs 1 and 4, Pack 4.) 1 . Place square on diagram and see that first line is drawn by short arm of square, and base-line by long arm of square. The beginning of the scales is the line on which the letters "A" and "B" are placed. 2. Take scale and place beginning of scale "A" on first line of diagram and see that dots are marked at 3, 8, 17 and 20 on base-line. 3. Take square and measure down from point 2U length of Under-arm measure (8V2 inches. ) Then meas- ure from point 8 at neck down the length of front-measure ( 14 inches), and from this point measure down 7, inches for length below the waist. (Always make this 7 inches to get the proper hipeurvethen mark it to length desired. ) Having obtained all points on base-line proceed to draw lines from all points requiring lines. 4. Place corner of square at point three with short arm of square even with base-line and draw second line. In like manner draw third line from point 17, fourth or bust-line from point 20, and the straight waist- line from point of under-arm measure (8V2 inches). Always see that short arm of square is even with base-line before drawing cross-lines. u ? "*. ^ gA//f, ,1/ A , Base-Line. OBJECT LESSON NO. I. ■*=t ADDRESS: H. P.

Bring scale to third line and mark at 16; and to fourth or bust-line and mark at 6, 14, 20 and 23, always being careful that first line of scale is on base-line, then bring scale down to waist-line and mark at 23. 2d. Make a point one-half way between the 8% inch point and the 14 inch point and place scale "B" straight out from this point and mark at 15; draw sloping waist-line from point 15 to the 14 inch point on base-line and mark at 4, 8 and 10. 3d. Place corner of square at point 23 on waist line and measure down 7 inches, draw hip line from the 7 inch point on base line and through this point and on to required length. On hip line mark at 4, 7, 10 and 13 for bottom of darts, then turn pencil on the point at 30, so as to make a small clear dot, place be- ginning of scale on this dot and mark at 3, making point 33 for spring on hip. 4. To obtain points for top of darts, turn scale to "A" side and place beginning of scale on bust line at point 14 and mark down 8 spaces for back dart and at point 6 mark down 9 spaces for front dart, then bring scale up to point 17, second line, and mark down 1 space for shoulder. We use scale "A" for these points because they are measures of length. (See paragraph 4, page 4. ) u ' s «. A 8 St. A [ i ?

In like manner measure out3'spaces from the width of elbow point ( the 6 inch point) and with scale extending from point 3 to point 4 upper elbow-line measure back 6 spaces. On muscle-line measure 5 spaces each way from the muscle measure point (the 6V2 inch point ). The most convenient way to handle scale for points 3 and 6 on wrist and elbow, is to place 3 at the inch point with beginning of scale out and mark at beginning of scale to make point three, then without moving be- ginning of scale bring upper part of scale to wrist point on base-line, at elbow to point 4 on upper elbow-line and mark 6 spaces back; this makes very easy handling of the scale. r\ 4 \^ 1 4- -9 /J IN, I \ '^W -I, •/M . -r i <-3 2.3 -r-2-0 <~~/j- i V ■t6 OBJECT LESSON NO. 8.

Review of Lessons. From the principles <>t' the foregoing t >bjed Lessons the following is devised : 1. That scales "A" arc used on lines running lengthwise and refer to measures oflength. 2. That scales "B" are used on lines running cross wise and refer to measures oi width. ;!. Thai small scale along the edge of scales "B" is used only where s. sc. is marked on diagrams and always applies an actual inch measure taken, as on waist-line of Lesson No. 5 and 9, and that where a figure is encir- cled the same figure of scale "B" is to be placed on the point nearest the encircled figure as in lesson No. 7. and that occurs only in connection with the small scale which is always marked s. sc. These three principles are used throughout the whole system and all garments are drafted by them, unless special directions arc given under the particular diagrams. Should further information be desired it will be promptly and cheerfully given by addressing H. P. EVAN CO, WINNECONNE. WlS . P. O. BOX 80. Object Lessons Continued. As in the foregoing lessons. Object Lesson Square and Scales may be applied to any diagram in the entire instruction book. The number of scale to be applied is given at each diagram marked S. C. and giving number, and if ruler is used the number of that is given, as for example on page 44, (fy. no'-s) scale No. 4 and ruler number 2 areused, so these diagrams are realy a series of Object Lessons of which each and every one can be explained by the Ob- ject Lesson Square, Scales and Rulers.
