Graduated Tapes and Squares.
Graduated Tapes.
It is now clearly proved that Graduated Tapes as hitherto published, do not produce correct patterns for all sizes of figures, as it is well known that the human form, as it increases is bulk does not increase in the same ratio all over the body. The invention embodied in these tapes meets these requirements. Neither the sizes below 36 nor the sizes larger, are in the same proportion as the 36 breast. The 36 breast graduated to a lad of 30 breast would be too small in the scye and shoulder ; besides the same amount being required for the making up, seams, buttons, &c., there is not tin same space for the garment to give, as all garments do, more or less when buttoned. On the other hand, graduation, pure and simple, applied to the larger figures, such as 42 and 44, produces a garment invariably too large in the scye and shoulders and too small in the breast. To meet this, the exact ratio of increase and decrease has been arrived at in these tapes, after many years of high class experience of measuring thousands of customers.
