THE PRACTICAL SKETCHER


LENGTHS FOR ALL MODEL PATTERNS

In order to make suitable lengths for model sizes, we need to look into this matter a great deal differently than producing lengths for size 36. To begin it is first necessary to see about misses' sizes, which the model size is 16 and may be followed according to the size 36. Remember when deciding about lengths for different sizes, it is necessary to look upon the different heights of the different model sizes, as they are a great deal shorter in length, especially the junior's children's and infants' sizes. In the front page of this book the proportional height for each model size is given and follow that rule in conjunction with the style for each and every season because the lengths of garments may be controlled by the style.

At the same time there is another thing to remember when speaking of styles, the length of garments may be controlled under 3 different outlines which are as follows: Height of form, size of garment and style. These may be connected with the following suggestions. When referring to model sizes, especially, misses', junior's, children's and infant's we are to look upon the age and then the height and size. Use these points to serve as a protection of not misleading the great importance of knowing correct lengths for all kinds of women, misses's, junior's, children's, and infant's garments.
