For the balance of height which is from the waist to the ground according to the total height division we find % of the total height which is .5 times S'j inches which makes 41 U inches. To make the pi'oper place of rise or hip line which is from the waist to the ci'utch we find the space of 12 inches which is explained in the following pages. Therefore, deduct 12 inches from 41 '4 inches leaving 29 '4 inches for inside length. To obtain the proper place of knee, calf and ankle according to this height take half of 29'4 inches and 2 inches less which amounts to 12^8 inches. In order to designate the space for calf the space should be 6 inches below the knee line as illustrated according to diagram numbei' 2 illustrating width proportions.

LESSON NO. 400 I shall now commence to explain the drafting of a foundation foi- a woman's size 36 and to succeed in dral'ting, the student has to remember every step which is made at the beginning, as the beginning lines according to this system are always to be repeated I'or each and every garment. It shall therefore be understood that this system is based on the most simplified method because the very first foundation lines are to be used for all the continuous lessons. The foundation lines shown in the first lesson are covering the space of the body from the neck down to the natural waist length and it therefore con- sists of 3 lines, which are called top line, breast line and waist line and to begin use the following standard measurements for size 36. Back depth 7 Natural waist length in back IS'- All around chest or size 36 All around bust 39 All around waist 25 inches inches inches inches inches Now begin to draft, draw a square lin« from A to R and A to C and remember that the line from A to R is the ton line and from A to C is the center back line to which you have to stand next in order to have the draft in front of you in the proper manner. Now measure from A to B, 7 inches back depth and from A to C, 15 '2 inches natural waist length. Draw a line across from B to W and C to X. After these lines are crossed, measure fiom A to D, B to E and C to F, 1—3 of size or 12 inches for size 36 and draw a line from D, li to F. To produce the widlh of back, take half of B to E. which makes G and allow fiom (J to H, 1 '1 inches and then measure the space between B to H and place the same from A to I and draw ,a line from I to H. Now begin the back neck ; from A to J measure Vu of size 01- 3 inches for size 36 and from J to K raise up 1 inch and from K draw a line out against I to L. In producing the back shoiilciei', dn.w a line from K against I to L. This space shall be 6 inches for size 36 Itut in order that this space or width of shouidav shall come out naturally without memorizin:.! the width of shoulder for each and every size, a square ruler shall be applied to the line from K to L to meet H and it will prove or bring the original width of shoulder for every size systematically. Now make the ink line for the center back; make from C to M, 2 inches and draw a line from M up to A and remember that this space between C to M is always 2 inches for all women's! sizes. Before going any further, remember the name of each cross line made at A, B and C. The line from A to R is called the top line, the line from B to W is the breast line and the line from C to X is the waist line.-' If thei-e are any other crossed lines to be produced foi- the continuous lessons, each additional line will have the proper name of its practical use. This completes this lesson. Take notice that this foundation and all further lessons produced on this founda- tion, have all necesaary seams allowed. 795 I. ROSENFELD'S SYSTEM 796 THE PRACTICAL DESIGNER WOMAN'S SECOND FOUNDATION LINES LESSON NO. 101. To begin this lesson, we need to remember the entire foundation of the first lesson, therefore now prepare the entire first lesson and continue as follows: From E to N and from D to is 1—6 of size or 3 inches for size 36 and draw a line up from N to 0. When making this step, it shall be remembei-ed tl^at we are pi-eparing the outline for the front part. Now measure again from to P and from P to Q also 1—6 of size or 3 inches for size 36. It shall be understood that we need to draw a line up fi-om P to Q and as soon as the line is drawn up to Q, draw a line from Q to the ink line at the back depth, which makes T and when this line is complete, measure the width of back shoulder from K to L and place the sjame fi'om Q to U, which makes the front shoulder and then draw a line from U to N, which makes the front amihole. Now prepare the front neck, measure from P to R. 1—6 of size or, 3 inches and allow a '■! inch for seam. Then raise up a line of 'a of an inch to S for the high neck in front. Now measure the bust; measure from T to V half of bust measurement. For in- stance, this bust measurement amounts to 39 inches therefore, take half of this amount, 19 '2 inchesi from T to V and from V to W allow 3 inches foi- stems and draw a square line dowrt from W to X and Y. When this line is complete, finish the entire edge of the front by drawing a straight line from S against W down to Z. When being this far advanced with this foundation, it shall be understood that we ai-e about ready with this foundation; which will be completed in the next lesson for use. The next lesson will finish this foundation into a corset covei'. 797 T.

According t.i this instruction we \\\\\ obtain a full bottom for tliis Corset co\er : hut should it be necessary to make a more close titted waist, take out at the waist line from each side of 2 to 1 and ,1, 1 inch and connect 1 to 5 and .1 to I-'.. Now make the opening for neck by d.-vidini^ at the center back frcnn A to I', makiiii;' 1.1 which will make the deei)ness of the back according' to half of the back depth makini;' it ,V J inches deep. Then take tlie shoulder width from L to 12 which is 2 inches and curse from 12 to 1J5. Now measure the same 2 inchc.-s from L' to 11 and divide e(|ually the space at the front edfje from S to W makinq; inches ff)r 25 inches waist. Divide equally between 1 and 2 making ,1 and measure from 3 to 4. 3 inches and from 4 to 5 also 3 inches. Then cur\e from 2 towards 4 up to 1 and draw a line from 1 to 5 and 2 to 5. Now square a line out from 1 to 6 and 2 to 7 and measure from 2 to 7. 3 inches and 1 to 6 also 3 inches and make a curve from 7 towards 5 to 6 which will comiilete the ripple in a .vinch width w ith all seams allowed. 799 T. ROSENFELD'S SYSTEM 800 THE PRACTICAL DKSIGIN^ER WOMAN'S TIGHT-FITTING CORSET COVER— SIZE 36 Lesson No, 403 To make the tight-fitting corset cover make the usual foundation lines and divide the arnihule hetwecn 1 auil (i niakini;- X.

Now make the dart in front 1>y dividin;^- the chest from F to R niakinj^- S. .\llo\v from \' to X ■;4 of an inch and draw a line from \l to X down to 14. Then allow from \' to Y, 2 inches for a long- ;vaist effect and draw a line from 9 against Y to 14. Take the space from R to S and ])lace same amount from 14 to Z and draw a straight line from S to Z and divide the s])ace hetwccn S and Z making 1 which makes the height of dart. Now take out from Z to 2. 1 inch and from- Z to 3, 2 inches. Measure the space from 1 to 2 and apply the same length from 1 to 15 and connect 15 to 9 which will complete the entire dart and hottom for the tight-fitting corset cover. Now finish the U])per prut of the front edge in a tight-fitting effect fr(nn \\' to R and di\ide the space hetween W to R which makes 16 for a medium neck opening in front. Di\ide ecpially the shoulder of the front anrl take half from () to U making 17. Draw a parallel line from 17 to IS and square a line across from 16 to IS which will give according to the trace lines shcjwn on the diagram a sr(uarc opening. If a curved effect is desired make a curve from 17 to 16 as shown on the front of the diagram. To make the opening at the hack divide the shoulders at the hack erpially hetween 1- and M making 12 and square a line down from 12 to 13. Di\ide equally the hack depth space from A to B making 11. ."Square a line from 11 to 13 which will give a square cutrmt at the hack. If a round elTect is wanted, curve as shown from 11 to 12. For button-stand in front allow 1 inch at the front ed.ge from 16 dov.-n to 14. Other- wise, this tight-litting corset cover is complete with all necessary seams allowed. 801 T. ROSENFELD'S SYSTEM ^y7 802 THE PRACTICAL DESIGIN^ER WOMAN'S BRASSIERE— SIZE 36 Lesson No. 404 In order to make the brassiere prepare the usual toundatioii lines and (li\i(le the side scams as exjilained for the tiglit-tittin<;- corset coxer. T'reitare the dart in front in the same manner and then act as follows: As this garment is to he strictly tight-titting di\i(le the bottom of the back from D to 4 making 9 and from 9 to 19 take out a '.i inch. Divide equally the back shoulder from L to M making 10 and connect 10 to 19. Connect with a trifle curved line 9 lost to the breast line which will, in this manner, produce the dosc- t'ltting back for the brassiere. To make the front part divide the front shoulder from () to U making 11 and c(»nnect 11 to 1. which is at the height of dart, with a straight line. In order to get the proper close-fitting bust efYect begin to curve on the straight line from about the breast line lost to the waist line to 3. 'IMiereforc, it should be understood that the straight line continues for the outside part of the front to 2. To better understaiul this it is to begin at 11 passing 15 down to 2. It should be tmderstood that this lesson is followed according to the lesson before this. The opening or cut-out around the neck is built on the same ]irinci])le as for the lesson before this. Divide the back depth at the center back from .\ to P. making 12; draw a line from 12 across to 13 which connects with the iM-cnch seam from l.i up to 10. If a round effect is wanted follow the dotted line from 10 to 12. To make the front oi)en- ing or cut-out divide the space at the front edge from W to R making 14 and draw a line across to 15. For a square opening follow from 15 to 11. Should a round opi'uing be wanted follow the dotted line from 11 to 14. To allow for button-stand in frf)nt allow 1 inch all the way through the edge of the front from 14 to .\X, shown by the dotted lines. To cut out this ])attcrn remember that this pattern is cut out on the same princii)le as the corset cover or any other garment with the exception that there is jjositively no need for a seam at the center back. 'I'hcrefore. deduct 3/S of an inch for a seam from 12 to D. Note that the small dart which is between 9 and 19 lost to the breast line is to be taken out. When the jiattern is cut out we arc to allow scams all the way through from 9 and 19 up to 10 and 3/S of an inch is the proper amount to allow at each side. Also note that the front dart between 2 and 3 lost all the way through up to the breast line is to be thrown out and 3/S of an inch for seams are to be allowed from 11 all the way down to 2 and 3 at both parts of the pattern which are the inner and the outside parts of the front. ( 803 T. rosehstfeIjD's system ^/7 804 THE PRACTICAL DESIGNER WOMAN'S CAMISOLE— SIZE 36 Lesson No. 405 To produce the camisole systematically and practically which may sa\ c a i;rcat deal of material and labor make use of the tirst 2 foundations u]) to the bust which is shown on the opposite diasjrani from 2 to 22. When the line of the front edge is drawn from 19 against 22 down to 25 measure the sjjace at the bottom of the front from 24 to 25 and extend the same amount at the breast line from 22 to 26 and connect a line from 26 to 25. Note that the lengthening of waist at the bottom between 23 and 24 is 1 inch. To finish the bottom entirely simply connect a straight line from the bottom of the center back from 3 against 24 out to 25 and curve up, as shown on the diagram, al)out y^ of an inch at 25 to give a trifle roundness at the bottom of the front when the garment is connected. Now note the heavy line at the breast line including the bottom, center back and center front which clearly shows that in order to make the camisole in one piece, all we need is the space between breast and waist line including all the fullness at the center back and the special allowance which is made at the front between 22 and 26 lost to 25. To complete this one-piece camisole foundation allow 1 inch for button-stand from 26 down to 25 in the same manner as shown for the brassiere. Should it be necessary to attach upper yoke parts which, as a rule, is a style, follow the suggestion given according to the trace line for a \' yoke cfifcct. Divide each shoulder at the front and back, for instance, the back shoulder di\ide between 11 and 12 making 27 and follow according to the dotted line from 27 to 2 and 27 to S. The front shoulder di\ide between 17 and 30 making 28 and draw a dotted line from 28 to 14 and 28 to 16. .'■Should we want a shoulder strip, which may be made of ribbon or lace, follow the shoulder and armhole lines, which is about \y2 inches in width which is shown at the back from 12 to 9 which is followed parallel according to the trace line down to the breast line. For the front also follow the front armhole line according to the same width which is from 30 to 31 parallel down to the breast line as illustrated by the dotted lines. It should therefore be understood that the proper adding is a matter of taste and style and the lower part is the original foundation of the camisole as described before with all the necessary seams allowed. 805 fi' I.

WOMAN'S DRAWERS, BACK PART— SIZE 36 Lesson No. 414 To begin the back part for drawers make the draft of the complete front part as shown on the op])ositc i)age and then contmue with the back as follows: Divide the space of the front from 2 to S on the hip line, making 16 and draw a straight line up from 16 towards 19 up to IS. Measure from 19 to IS, 3 mches and draw a line up to 19 against 20 to 21. Measure from 19 to 20, j4 of waist measurement amounting to 6J4 inches according to 25 inches waist. I-'roni 20 to 21 add 3 inches for seams and fullness and connect a line from 21 to IS. Then allow from 13 to 22 and 14 to 23, 3 inches and connect with a curved line from 21 to 22 and 23, which will finish the outside seam of the back part. Now connect a line for the back curve part from IS to 9 and continue the cur\e according to the front crutch from 9 towards S out to 5. From 8 to 5 is 1-12 of hip meas- urement and 1 inch allowed for seams amounting altogether to 2-j.i inches. Draw a line from 4 against 5 down to 6, which will complete the inside seam of the back jiart which is connectable to the inside scam of the front to 8 and 15, and which will complete the entire draft of front and back for woman's drawers. In order to cut out the front and back parts of this draft trace ofif each one according to the heavy lines as follows: To begin to cut or trace the front begin from 12 to 13 and 14 across to 15 up to 8 and from 8 to 9 up to 4 and connect 4 to 12. This will cut out the front. To cut out the back part begin from 21 to 22 and 23 and from 23 across to 6 up to 5; from 5 towards S and 9 up to IS and from IS connect to 21. In this way the front and back will be entirely cut out, including the necessary seams. If buttoning is wanted at the side take half of the rise length between 20 and 22 at the lack part and between 12 and 13 at the front part, which measures full IS inches and half of this amount is to be left open from the waist down, which will amount to 9 inches for buttoning if side buttoning is desired. If front or back buttoning is desired make the opening from the waist line 12 inches down, which will be sufficient and convenient space for buttdning. 819 I.

Lesson No. 418 In order to begin the envelope drawers note that tliis g^armcnt is cut on the prin- ciple of a circular skirt which is followed according to the waist and hip measurements. To begin to draft draw a line from .\ to C mcasurinp; half of waist measurement amount- in'^ to 12'/> inches according to 25 inches waist. Then square a line up from C to D and measure (5 inches for the hack raise. Measure from I) towards (\ 12!< inches, which is half of waist measurement and draw a line from I) to (i and square a straight line down from G to B, which makes the front length amounting to 26 inches for the envelope draw- ers. Take Y- between G and D making \\ and from H to | mark V/i inches and curve from G towards 1 up to D. Then make parallel 6 inches hetween G to I, J to K, and 1) to r and curve from I towards V. to K. Measure from I to F half of hip measurement amounting to 21^. inches and draw a line from D towards F and down to L and S mak- ing the hack line. Xow measure from D to L 26 inches hack length. Im-oui L to S meas- ure 9 inches for the cnxclopc elTect and from S to R make 3 inclies and curve from R to I\ as shown on the diagram. Make the side length al.so 26 inches from J to T an from 7 to .t. and )ou will note that 5 is the lujttom line of the ordinary chemise. Now lowei- from 7 to 44 at the ci'ntei' hack line with 1 inch and at the front from 77 to 53 lower with 2 inches and connect a line from 44 to 36. which completes the leni^th in the jirojier bha|)e for the hack. Also connect a line from .55 tu 37, which will linish in tin- propiT shape the hottoin of the front. W hen tiiese bottom lines are completed we are about ready to ])repare the sejjarate parts of the sttp-in elTect on the \ery same foundation, rherefore. note that the line from 7 to 77 is the l)e!.;'inninij line for the lower part or steji-in effect. To complete the step-iri effect for the back part, measure the space hctuceu 5 and 6. and note that the line at 6 is the line continued from the center back seam of the chemise, which is continued from 35 towards 4 down to 6. Therefore, measure the s])acc from 5 to 6 and apply the same from 5 to 66 and draw a line from 6 towards 66 to S8. Now measure the s])ace from 6 to 66 and apply the same from 65 to SS. Then curve from SS, as shown on the diajjram, lost t: to size, which makes this form a stout. The short stout form is gr'-'-itly changed in natural \.aist length, 1 eir.j;- a t;reat deal shorter on account of tlie heiji;ht. The bust measurement is somewhat full and shows a f^reat deal larfjer on accoimt of the short height. The waist is particularly over-built, similar to tlie natural proportions of a stout. The sleeve is a great deal shorter than for the regular stout or the proportionately built jicrson. As the armhole of every stout is to occupy large deepness, the under-arm for this short stout is particularly \ery short. The extra stout form is greatly changed on account of its height. The back (k-])th and natur;il waist length is long. The slee\e length is full length, similar tf) the regular proportionate large size, which m;iv inches. le for the extra stout form frtnn 1'* to 20 In order to make the foundation pattern, make the founda- ti(;n outlines for drafting according to the table of proportions given on the oppos.'ce page for any branch of stouts desired.

Draw a line from 5 towards 7 down to S and measure from 5 to 8, 42 inches back length. Now divide the space on the waist lin..' from 9 to 5 equally making 10. Measure the bottom from 2 to iS making 11 and connect a line from 10 to 11 and measure from 10 to 11, 41 inches side length. Now curve the bottom from 2 towards 11 to 8. This completes the petticoat in tworpieces or four-pieces with gathers at the waist. Should no gathering be wanted around the waist, then measure the waist curve from 9 to 5. If the space there measures 18 inches take out for a dart the amount that is over half of waist including the amount allowed for seams, which is as follows: Half of 25 inches waist is 12',^ inches and if 2 inches are allowed for seams which makes 14^, in such case, deduct 14' S inches from 18 inches, which shows there is an over-amount of 3,'<> inches. In this case, take out from each side of 10 to 12 and 13, IJ4 inches and curve from 12 and 13 lost to the hip line to 14. This will complete the two-piece or four gore petticoat. 84S T.

Begin by measuring the front panel which is 3 inches from 12 to 13 at the waist line and 6 inches at the bottom curve ;rom 2 to 14. and draw a straight line from 13 to l-\ Now divide the inner gores. Di\ ide the sj^.tcc cquallj' from 13 to 6 at the waist line making 15 and the same way divide the bottom curve from 14 to 10 making 11 and draw a straight line from 15 to 11 making the side seam for a five-gore petticoat. If fullness is wanted at the waist line leaNe the foundation as it is without taking any dart out. Should we want a dart follow the rule and regulationr- as explained in the last lesson. Take special notice that this petticoat can be drafted according to any measurements wanted. For instance, if a large waist measurement is desired with small hip measurement, which is. as a rule, changeable every season according to the shape of various models use the same system according to such measurements. If 28 inches waist measurement is de- sired simply measure according to this diagramfrom 1 to 3, li of 2S inches waist measurement amounting to 14 inches. Then continue from ,i to 4 allowing 3 inches for fullness and allow for this ii\e-gore petticoat from -I to 5, 2^-2 inches for seams and raise the same way up a line from 5 to 6 amounting to 41-j inches. Otherwise, act as explained before including hip measurement whatever it may be with the understanding that according to this diagram w'c measure J--2 of hip measurement from 7 to 8 and allow 2', 1> inches for seams from 8 to 9, \\hich is the same amount as allowed at the waist. Then draw a back line from 6 toward 9 and 10 and finish the bottom of this petticoat as usual. If petticoats are desired for misses' sizes, all it would be necessary is to use the waist and hip measurements as given on the tabic ofproportions for misses' sizes. Lengths may be followed according to the table of proportions or according to style. It is very important to know that lengths are, as a rule, followed according to style, because the petticoat is always to be shorter with 1 or 2 inches than the dress or skirt and, therefore, the length shall be guided according to the length of skirts or dresses. 847 T.

To ijrade the \arious lar,t;er or smaller si'.es for each and e\ery branch, it would he nec- essary to maUe perfect our first pattern, wh.ich is size 36 for women and size 16 for misses in such nanncr that it will .L;i\e full satisfietion to the designer in its style and lit. It should therefore be understood that the model pattern is to be jjerfect before ; j giadinsf is be,s>;un. To be clear with ijradingf. it is very important to remember that propor- tional measurements of such model size and also of the various sizes which we are to 5i;radc from such model pattern. For instance, if wl- are to grade a set of patterns for women's sizres for which the model size pattern is 36, we are to be fully acquainted with the measure- ments of a size 34 which is the first size below size 36, and also of the various larger sizes, such as sivces 31^. 40, 42 and 44. In doing this correctly it would be necessary to note the in- crease in back depth between e\ery size. At the same time, remember that the back depth and waist length are an increase in length, and in addition to the same we are to remember the increase of the width ])ro- portions between sizes, such as breast, bust waist and hip measurements. It is al'-o nec- essary to know that to grade the camisole th: difterence between breast or bust measure- ments, which, as a rule, differs with 2 inches all around, or 1 inch half way. For corset covers and brassieres it is necessary to note the ditTerence between brease, bust and waist measurements only. When grading, chemise night-gowns and any other long garments, in addition we have to note the difference in hip measurements. When grading such garments which are below the waist, such as bloomer;, drawers and pajamas we are to grade them according to the waist and his measurements only. For grading entirely tight-fitting drawers we additionally add measurements o^ knee, calf and ankle whereby the entire un- derwear line can be full and practically grade! for which the figure on the opposite page illustrates the entire set of measurements for ilie imderwear line. 791 I. ROSENFELD'S SYSTEM =^ ' 4. a a \j 792 THE PRACTICAL DESIGNER THE PROPER WAY OF TAKING RISE MEASUREMENT. In order to make clear how to obtain the rise measurement for women's or misses' underwear watch the above diagram which gives the position how such measurement can be taken. Have a proportional live model seated on a flat surface on a chair or table in an upright position and take the measurement from the hollow of waist which is illustrated on the above diagram at number 1 and take the measui'ement down to the flat surface of the chair or table which is illustrated by number 2. According to this in- sti'uction we obtain 12 inches for ri^e measurement for a person of normal height and medium hip measurement, such as 5 feet 6 inches. At the same time, it is necessary to know that this normal rise measuiement will be only practical for close- fitting garments. Should we want to build garments for more comfortable wear, in such case, there should be an additional allowance of 6 inches to these 12 inches and we shall use 18 inches for a full length rise measurement. In order to obtain the additional measurements which may be used in connection with the rise measurement continue with the outside length by taking a straight outside length from the hollow of waist down straight to the knee which will give for the average length 26 inches for a person of normal height. See table of propoitions on the next page. . 793 I.

It shall therefore be understood that this system is based on the most simplified method because the very first foundation linesi are to be used for all the continuous lessons. The foundation lines shown in the first lesson are covering the space of the body from the neck down to the natural waist length and it therefore con- sists of 3 lines, which are called top line, breast line and waist line and to begin use the following standard measurements foi' size 36. Back depth 7 inches Natural wai.st length in back IS'-- inches All around chest oi' size 36 inches All around bust 39 inches All around waist 25 inches Now begin (o draft, draw a square line fiom A to R and A to C and remember that the line from A to R is the ton line and from A to C is the center back line to which you have to stand next in order to have the draft in front of you in the proper manner. Now measure from A to B, 7 inches back depth and from A to C, 15 'b inches natural waist length. Draw a line across from B to W and C to X. After these 'lines are crossed, measure from A to D, B to E and C to F, 1—3 of size or 12 inches for size 36 and draw a line from D, h to F. To produce the width of back, take half of B to E. which makes (i and allow from G to H, 1 'i inches and then measure the space between B to H and place the same from A to I and draw ,a line from I to H. Now begin the back neck; from A to J measure Vo of size or 3 inches for size 36 and from J to K I'aiso up 1 inch and from K di'aw a line out against I to L. In producing the l.;\tk .shoultiev, di aw a line from K against I to L. This space shall be 6 inches for size 36 !jut in order that this space or width of shouids'- shall come out naturally without memorizinj: the width of shoulder for each and every size, a square ruler shall be applied to the line from K to L to meet H and it will prove or bring the original width of shoulder foi' every size systematically. Now make the ink line for the center back ; make from C to M, 2 inches and draw a line from M up to A and remember that this space between C to M is always 2 inches for all women'.c; sizes. Before going any further, remember the name of each cross line made at A, B and C. The line from A to R is called the top line, the line from B to W is the breast line and the line from C to X is the waist line.' If there are any other crossed lines, to be produced foi' the continuous lessons, each additional line will have the proper name of its practical use. This completes this lesson. Take notice that this foundation and all further lessons produced on this founda- tion, have all necessary seams allowed. 795 I. ROSEIN^FELD'S SYSTEM 796 THE PRACTICAL DESIGNER WOMAN'S SECOND FOUNDATION LINES LESSON NO. 401. To besin this lesson, we need to reuiember the entire foundation of the first lesson, therefore now prepare the entire first lesson and continue as follows: From E to N and from D to O is 1—6 of size or 3 inches for size 36 and draw a line up from N to 0. When making this step, it shall be remembered tl^at we are preparing the outline for the front part. Now measure again from to P and from P to Q also 1—6 of size or 3 inches for size 36. It shall be understood that we need to draw a line up from P to Q and as soon as the line is drawn up to Q, draw a line from Q to the ink line at the back depth, which makes T and when this line is complete, measure the width of back shoulder from K to L and place the same 1'rom Q to U, which makes the front shoulder and then draw a line from U to N, which makes the front armhole. Now prepare the front neck, measure from P to R. 1—6 of size or, 3 inches and allow a Vs inch for seam. Then raise up a line of '4 of an inch to S for the high neck in front. Now measure the bust; measure from T to V half of bust measiu'ement. For in- sHance, this bust measurement amounts to 89 inches therefore, take half of this amount, 19'= inches fiom T to V and from V to W allow 3 inches for seams and draw a squai-e line dowit from W to X and Y. When this line is complete, finish the entire edge of the front by drawing a straight line fi'om S against W down to Z. When being this far advanced with this foundation, it shall be undei'stood that we are about ready with this foundation; which will be completed in the next lesson for use. The next lesson will finish this foundation into a corset covei'. 797 T.

Then taUe uiu from each side uf 2. ^4 of an inch and from each side of 4 which is at the breast line "^ inch to E and 5. and connect 5 to 2 with a cur\ ed line which will make the side seam of the hack and connect F. to 2 with a curved line which makis the side seam of the front. .\ccordini^- t.i iliis in-truclion we will obtain a full bottom for this corset co\ er ; but should it be necessuy to make a more close fitted waist, take out al llu- waist lini- from each side of 2 t(^ 1 and .\ 1 inch and connect 1 to 5 and ,i to \\. Now make the opening for neck by d.-\idm_i^ at the center liack from A to 1'. makins;- 1.1 which will make the deeimess of the l)ack a;-cordin.<>- to half of the back de])th making it 3' J inches deep. Then take the shoulder widlh from L to 12 which is 2 inches and curve from 12 to 13. Now measure the same 2 inches from C to 11 and divide equally the s])ace at the front cdgfe from .S to \\" making- 8. F.xtend from S to 10, .i inches for fullness and curve frinn 11 towards S out to 10. Now connect 10 to 7 with a straight line which makes the edge of the front. I'rom .\ to '/. allow 1 inch and connect a line from ,i tow arils 7. to 6 and curve up from '/. to 7 with a 'j inch, as shown on the diagram. Then allow 1 inch for but- ton-stand to the edge of the front from 10 down to 7. Now make all curves as shown on the diagr.'un. .\liow at 1 and 3, 'j inch at the bottom of waist, t nr\e the armhole at the back from L to .S and at the front from I" to E. To cut out the corset cover follow the heavy lines of front and back. If a very full back is wanted follow the doited line from 13 to C and then cut on the heavy marks from 13 to 12 to L and .t down t(j 1 and from 1 to M and C. The front is cut out from L" towards E down to 3 and from 3 out to Z and 7 and tlien from 1 1 towards S to 10 and from 10 down to 7. If a much lower front opening is wanted follow the trace line shown at 9 at the front edge between S and W and curve in the same manner as the original line at S with the exce])tion that this is about 2 inches below tlie first opening curve. Note that when this pattern is cut out according to these instructions the pattern has seams allowed and is ready to be cut from any kind of material. This ])attern has normal seams of 3/S of an inch for a half seam or 'ii of an inch for a full seam. To make the ripple for the corset cover watch the diagram below the corset cover on the opposite page, which illustrates the same. Draw a straight line from 1 to 2 measuring half of the waist measurement which is about 12jj inches for 25 inches waist. Divide ccjually between 1 and 2 making 3 and measure from 3 to 4, 3 inches and from 4 to 5 also 3 inches. Then curve from 2 towards 4 up to 1 and draw a line from 1 to 5 and 2 to 5. Now square a line out from 1 to 6 and 2 to 7 and measm-e from 2 to 7, 3 inches and 1 to 6 al.so 3 inches and make a curve from 7 towards 5 to 6 which will complete the ri|)ple in a 3-inch width w ith all seams allowed. 799 T. ROSENFELD'S SYSTEM 800 THE PRACTICAL DESIGNER WOMAN'S TIGHT-FITTING CORSET COVER— SIZE 36 Lesson No. 403 To make the tight-fitting corset cover make the usual foundation lines and divide the arnihole Ijetw.evn 1 and (i niakin.n N. Draw a line down I'runi X to 7 which is at the liack arniholc space. Take out from each side of X. to r< and 6. -^4 of an inch and from each side of 7 to I'", and 10. 2 inches. Xow shorten the waist len^'th from 1". to ') and 10 to 4 with a j j inch all the way out to 8 and D. Now make the dart in front hy dividini;' the chest from F to R making- S. .\lIou- from \' to X ;< I of an inch and draw a line from R to X down to 14. 'i'hcn allow from \' to Y, 2 inches for a long >vaist effect and draw a line from 9 against Y to 14. Take the space from R to S and place same amount from 14 to Z and draw a straight line from S to Z and divide the space between S and Z- making 1 which makes the height of dart. Now take out from Z to 2, 1 inch and from Z to 3, 2 inches. Measure the space from 1 to 2 and apply the same length from 1 to 15 and connect 15 to 9 which will complete the entire dart and hottom for the tight-fitting corset cover. Now finish the ujiper part of the front edge in a tight-litting eff t-ct from W to R and divide the space hetween W to R which makes 16 for a medium neck opening in front. Divide ecpially the shoulder of the front and take half from () to U making 17. Draw a i)arallel line from 17 to IS and square a line across from 16 to IS which will give according to the trace lines shown on the diagram a square opening. If a curved effect is desired make a curve from 17 to 16 as shown on the front of the diagram. To make the o])ening at thi? hack divide the shoulders at the hack equally hetween L and M making 12 and square a line down from 12 to l.v Divide equally the back depth space from A to I'l making 11. Sc|uare a line from 11 to 13 which will gi\e a square cut- out at the back. If a round effect is wanted, curve as shown from 11 to 12. For button-stand in front allow 1 inch at the front edge from 16 down to 14. Other- wise, this tight-fitting corset cover is complete with all necessary seams allow'cd. 801 T. ROSENFELD'S SYSTEM 802 I THE PRACTICAL DESIGNER WOMAN'S BRASSIERE— SIZE 36 Lesson No. 404 In order to make the brassiere prepare the usual touudation lines and di\ide the side seams as explained for tlie ti.q;ht-tittin.i^: corset cover. I'rei)are the dart in front in the same manner and then act as follows: As tliis S'^''""^'"t is to lie strictly tii>iu-littins divide the bottom of the back from 1) tc/ 4 making- 9 and from 9 to 19 take out a ' /> inch. Divide equally the liack shoulder frtjm L to M makinj;- 10 and connect 10 to 19. Connect with a trifle curved line 9 lost to the lireast line which will, in this maimer, produce the closc- fittiny back for the brassiere. To make the front part divide the front shoulder from () to U making 11 and connect 11 t(j 1. which is at the height of dart, with a straight line. In order to get the proper close-fitting bust cfTcct liegin to curve on the straight line from about the breast line lost to tlie waist line to ,5. Thcrelore. it should be understood that the straight line continues for the outside jiart of the front to 2. To belter understand this it is to begin at 11 passing 15 d(jwn to 2. It should be understood that this les.son is followed according to the lesson before this. To allow for button-stand in front allow 1 inch all the way through the edge of the fnVit from 14 to XX. shown by the dotted lines. To cut out this pattern remember that this pattern is cut out on the same principle as the corset cover or any other garment with the exception that there is positively no need for a seam at the center back. Therefore, deduct •VS of an inch for a seam from 12 to D. Note that the small dart which is between 9 and 19 lost to the breast line is to be taken out. When the ])attern is cut out we are to allow seams all the way through from 9 and 19 up to 10 and 3/S of an inch is the proper amount to allow at each side. Also note that the front dart between 2 and 3 lost all the way through up to the breast line is to be thrown out and 3/S of an inch for seams arc to be allowed from 11 all the way down to 2 and 3 at both parts of the ]iattern w'hich are the inner and the outside jiarts of the front. 803 T.

Accorthny to tliis foundation draw lines acro.~s from 1 to 5, 2 to 6. 3 to 7 and 4 to V.. Then measure additional tS inches for the drawers elTect from \\ to A and draw lines across from A to B. The space between 1 and 5 and 4 and IL is 1-3 of size amounting to 12 inches the same as explained before. To continue the comliiiiation effect for this liack part measure from 4 to 10 and 10 to 9. 1-6 of hip measurement for each amountinj^- to 3S^ inches, or altogether, the space from 4 to 9 amounts to 1-3 of hip measurement amountinpf to FH inches. Sciuare a line down from 9 to B and increase for more fullness at the ijottom from B to L with 1 inch and connect C to 9. Increase with 1 incli from A to D and draw a straight line from D to 13 and from 13 curve up to 23 the .^anie way as for the one-piece pajam;is. The si)ace between 22 and 23 is ! inch, kememljer that according to this instruction wc will have the armhole 3 inches deep from 6 to 22 and, therefore, curve the armhole, as shown oii the diagiam, from 19 down to 23. Then linish the center back for more fullness by drawing a st'-aight line from 1 down to 10 which is at the crutch, and cui\e from 9 u|) ttiwards 20 for olitaining '.' ordinary back part for the combination chemise. If back buttoning with fullness is desired note the follow iiig changes. Take half between 2 and 4 which is between breast and crutch lines making 11. From 11 draw a line out to 12 and 13 and measure from 20 to 12. 3 inches for gathering. In order to cut in the opening divide the space equally between 12 and 13 making 21 which is the place to cut in for the opening of buck butt(jning, as shown on the diagram. Then connect a line from 12 to 10 and cm-ve from 12 down towards 9, as shown on the diagram, which will complete the back for hack buttoning with gathering around the l)ack part of the hip. For cutting out the back part for this parlicular rtyle begin to cut the back from the 'lO]) from 1 to 20, from 20 to 21 down to F. Then continue cutting out from 20 to 12 towards 9 down to C and fromC cross to D up towards S to 13 and 23. As a rule, this garment is to l;c cut with a low neck opening. Therefore, take half between 1 and 2 makirj^ 11 and take 3 inches from 18 to G and cut from H to G and from G to 19 which com- ]iletes the back part for this garment with all seams allowed. WOMAN'S COMBINATION CHEMISE, Front Part— Size 36 Lesson No.422 To begin the front part for the combination chemise draw outlines on the same prin- ci])le as for the back or exactly the same as for the front pajamas. I'-rom 1 to 2 is 7 inches lack depth; 1 to 3. \5l6 inches waist length and 3 to 4 is IS inches rise. Then draw lines from 1 to 6, 2 to 7, 3 to S and 4 to 9 and continue the front part the same way as for the oue-i)iccc pajamas with the exception of making the armhole according to the'dcepness of 3 inches between 2 and 22 and make a curve from 1 to 22 for the front armhole. Then draw a line down from 9 to 91 and measure there 8 inches and draw a straight line across from 91 to 21 and extend from 4 to 20, 1 inch. Xow draw a straight line from 22 against 3 down towards 20 and 21. Now allow for button-stand 1 inch from 15 down towards 16 to 17 in the same manner as for the one-piece pajamas. If full length buttoning is wanted to th.e crutch continue the buttoning to 18. Then continue the curve of the crutch from 18 to 9 as usual. As a low neck is wanted for the combination chemise measure from 14 to C. 3 inches a- d divide from L=> to 16 making D and curve from C to D for a low neck, as shown on the diagram. ( )thcrwise, this front part of the combination chemise is completed with all reccssary seams allowed. For cutting out follow the heavy lines of this diagram. 829 I. ROSEISTFELD'S SYSTEM 830 THE PRACTICAL DESIGNEK WOMAN'S STEP-IN CHEMISE— Size 36 Lesson No. 423 In order to begin the step-in chemise, prrpaif tlu' (.iniiplrti-- huiinlatiun dl tlic or(h- iiaiv chemise, wliich is tuily (.'Xijhiined uii l)ai;cs SU() ;uul Xl)7. ami then continue as lollows; To continue for the step-in chemise, measure huni the l)reasl line down, which is Irom 2 lo 7, IS inches, and draw a line trcjm 7 to 77. which is the proper lenj.;th lor tlie upper l)art ol tiiis chemise. Then there will remain ,i halance of 11 inches I'roin 7 to .S. and you will note that 5 is the liottoni line of the ordinary chemise. Now lower from 7 tu 44 at the center hack line with 1 inch and at the fiont fiom 77 to 53 lower with 2 inches and connect a line from 44 lo Mh which completes the length in the i)roper shajje for the hack. Also coiniect a line from ,^.3 to .i7, which will tinish in the proi)er shape the huttum of the front. When these holloni lines arc cunipleted we are ahout ready to i)re])are the se])arate parts of the step-in elTcct on the very same foundation. Therefore, note that tiie line from 7 to 77 is the hcginniny line for the lower i)art or step-in ellect. To complete the step-in effect for the back part, measure the space hctween 5 and 6, and note th.it the line at 6 is the line continued from the center hack seam of the chemise, which is continued from 2)}i towards 4 down to 6. Therefore, measure the space from 5 to 6 and api)ly the same from 5 to 66 and draw a line from 6 towards 66 to SS. Now measure tlie space from 6 to 66 and a])ply the same from (it to XS. Then cur\e from SS, as shown on the dia.q;ram, lost to 3.\ wliich will make the hottom cur\e of the hack part of the step-in etl'cct. Now measure at the hottom of the front from 12 to SO. 3 inches and also from 12 to SI. 3 inches and connect with a line from SI tf) SO. You will note that the space from SO to SI measures the same amount as the space at the hack from 6 to SS and then curse the hottom of the front from 34 to SI. Connect a line from 77 to ."^'0. which is the front edj^e of the front part for the step-in effect. The neck opening for this .ijarment, as a rule, is made on the same princijilc as for the ordinary chemise, with a slij^ht difYcrencc that it is made with a lost shoulder strip. Therefore take half of each shoulder, for the hack from 20 to 21, making: 3'), and curve from N to 39, and from 39 to the armhole deepness at 3S. The front shoulder divide the same way from 24 to 25. makinfj 40. and cur\e from 40 to 9, to the front cd,L;e, and from 40 to 3S, to the- hottom of the armhole. as shown on the diag^ram. Should a \ sha])c neck he wanted, follow the trace lines for the front from 40 to 9 and for the liack from .39 to X. To cut out the step-in effect, note that the straight line from 7 to 77 is the top line of the step-in effect and therefore ctit out the hack from 36 to 7, to the center hack down to 6, from 6 to SS, and from SS to H up to 36. To cut out the front, cut from TJ to 77 down to SO and 81, and from SI to .i4 up to 17. When these parts arc cut out you will note, as a rule, there are no scams allowed at the side of the step-in effect, and, therefore, sec instruc- tions below. Also note that according to the usual rule the bottom of the step-in from 6 to 88 and SO to 81 are seamed together, hut for more practical use according to our diagram we show the same can he buttoned. Therefore allow 1 inch button-stand at the bottom of the back part from 6 to A and 88 to B, as shown on the ag am. ( ;therwise, this step-in chemise is complete with all necessary seams allow ed. Lesson No. 424 To make the step-in effect in one-piece, cut out as cxi)lained and copy the hack part as shown on the miniatiu-e diagram from A', B, C, D, to K. and place the front side seam next to the hack side seam from F to D and G to E and continue copying the front i>art to H. I and J and connect J to G, as shown on the diagram. See that the brakes are filled in at the top at D to F and at the hottom at G to E. This makes the step-in effect in one- piece with all necessary seams allowed. 831 T. ROSENFELD'S SYSTEM 832 THE PRACTICAL DKolONJER THE STUDY OF THE STOUT FORM Lesson No. 425 In order to clothe the stout form ])rn])i,rly we Inul many i"liant,a's ill foriiuility. Ihc cliaiiincs arc shown in many re- spects as there are reyniar stunts, short stunts and extra stunts. Note illn,^l.atiun and table of proportions. The regular stout form is hnilt in regular natural waist length. The width of l)ack is |)ropurtiunately built to its size. Ihe bust measurement is increased accordinjf to its proptir- tions. The all-around waist is increased or o\er-built, accord- inif to size, which makes this fcjrm a stout. The short stout form is greatly changed in natural waist length, being a great deal shorter on account of the heig;ht. The bust measurement is somewhat full and shows a great deal larger on account of the short height. The waist is particularly o\er-built, similar to the natural proportions of a stout. 'J"he sleeve is a great deal shorter than for the regular stout or the pro])ortionately built person. As the armhole of e\cry stout is to occupy larg:c deepness, tlie under-arm for this short stout is particularly \ery short. The extra stout form is greatly changed on account of its height. The back depth and natural waist length is long, 'i'he sleeve length is full lengfth, similar to the re.gular jiroportionate lar.ge size, which may be for the extra stout form from 1') to 20 inches. In order to make the foundation pattern, make the founda- tion outlines for drafting according to the table of proportions g:iven on the o])i)osrte page for any branch of stouts desired. By all means follow the rules and regulations as for the regular proportions, with the excejition of using the measurements for stouts.

Then allow from 4 to 3. 3 inches for fullness and allow 1 inch additional if only a side seam is wanted, which is useful for a two-piece petticoat. If this ])elticoat is sujjposed to be four-gore allow 2 inches for seams and 3 inches for fullness for which the total amount, in such case, will he 5 inches between 4 and 3. Then raise uji from 3 to 5, 4>2 inches and connect with a line from 1 to 5. Raise up from 1 to 0, 1 inch and curxe, as shown on the diagram, from 9, 10 to 5. Now measure from 1 to 6 and 5 to 7, 6 inches and draw a line from 6 to 7 making the hip line. Measure from 6 to 7 half of 43 inches hip measurement amounting to 21>1. inches and 1 inch additional for a scam making 22>2 inches. Draw a line from 5 towards 7 down to cS and measure from 5 to 8, 42 inches back length. Now divide the space on the waist lin..- from 9 to 5 equally making 10.

Begin by measuring the front panel which is 3 inches from 12 to 13 at the waist line and 6 inches at the bottom curve irom 2 to 14, and draw a straight line from 13 to 1^'-. Now divide the inner gores. Divide thq space equally from 13 to 6 at the waist line making 15 and the same way divide the bottom curve from 14 to 10 making 11 and draw a straight line from 15 to 11 making the side scam for a five-gore petticoat. If fullness is wantel at the waist line leave the foundation as it is without taking any dart out. Should wc want a dart follow the rule and regulations as explained in the last lesson. Take special notice that this petticoat can be drafted according to any measurements wanted. For instance, if a large waist measurement is desired with small hip measurement, which is, as a rule, changeable every season according to the shape of various models use the same system according to such measurements. If 28 inches waist measurement is de- sired simiily measure according to this diagramfrom 1 to 3, 14 of 2S inches waist measurement amounting to 14 inches. Then continue from ,> to 4 allowing 3 inches for fullness and allow for this five-gore petticoat from -! to 5, 2j,l inches for seams and raise the same way up a line from 5 to 6 amounting to 4-14 inches. Otherwise, act as explained before including hip measurement whatever it may be with the understanding that according to this diagram wc measure J.j of hip measurement from 7 to 8 and allow 2y> inclies for seams from S to 9, which is the same amount as allowed at the waist. Then draw a back line from 6 toward 9 and 10 and finish the bottom of this petticoat as usual. If petticoats are desired for misses' sizes, all it would be necessary is to use the waist and hip measurements as given on the table ot])roportions for misses' sizes. Lengths may be followed according to the table of proportions or according to style. It is very important to know that lengths are, as a rule, followed according to style, because the petticoat is always to be shorter with 1 or 2 inches than the dress or skirt and, therefore, the length shall be guided according to the length of skirts or dresses. 847 T.
