An ingenious little volume whose method is one of folding paper of predetermined dimensions into a grid which is used to plot the design. The method can be applied to a garment of any size as the proportions are calculated, for the most part, from a single body measurement: usually the neck measurement or the height of the wearer.
The garments covered are:
1) child's chemise (two patterns)
2) woman's chemise
3) woman's yoked chemise
4) combinations
5) baby's drawers
6) child's knickerbocker drawers
7) girl's knickerbocker drawers
8) woman's tucked drawers - circular band
9) cottage pinafore
10) yoked pinafore
11) baby's morning gown
12) baby's frocks (two patterns)
13) child's pelisse
14) baby's flannel - baby's shirts
15) bodice
16) night-dress
17) lined shirt, a back yoke for a tucked night-dress
18) single half-square gusset, circular band.
