THE PRACTICAL DESIGNER

RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR MISSES' SLEEVES


In continuing to prepare various kinds of stylish sleeves, remember that when the foundation pattern is complete according to misses' size 16 or according to 34 chest measurement follow the instructions of different kinds of sleeves the same as for women's sizes with the only exception that sleeve length has to be carefully followed, which may be found on the table of proportions placed in the beginning part of misses' sizes.

The various styles that may be continued from the foundation pattern are as follows: One-piece sleeve with fullness on bottom of which we can obtain a one-piece tight-fitting sleeve, a bishop sleeve which contains gathering around the cuff part or a sleeve of which we can take out a dart on the bottom. The next production of sleeve may be a raglan sleeve, which is to be connected to a sleeve draft before cut out. We are to remember that the increase we make for a raglan sleeve shall be followed carefully according to the width of shoulder for size 16 if the sleeve is prepared for a size 16. It will therefore be necessary to refer to the different kinds of sleeves on the various pages where instruction is given under the heading of women's sizes for all kinds of sleeves.
