Unless you are comfortable In a dress, blouse, suit or coat, the most fashionable garment will not give you the poise and grooming you should expect. Many women avoid expensive alterations on clothes by making their own, and In this way they can achieve both fashion and ccrrect fit with the least amount of expense.

When more than a little is needed, an even amount can be allowed along the side seam of the skirt from hip to hem. Properly fitted waistlines are required so that clothes will be comfortable. For heavy waistlines, add width to both back and front of the garment at side edges. Taper the extra width to both the upper and lower halves of the garment. When the figure is heavy above the waist, lay the pattern over paper and allow enough for easy fit. The adjustment for this is different from adding extra width for a full bust, since this adjustment Is made at the front only The heavy walsted figure needs extra material both in back and front. If the back is round and full slash waist lengthwise from mid shoulder straight down to waist line. Lay on paper and pin. Slash across the fullest part of the back from center to back to the lengthwise slash to give enough ease Cut the skirts from the waist to the hem and seperate as neces aary. , Morris of Dallas, Texas Dallas Bride says: Brides (and experts too!) praise Snowdrift's new, lighter, more luscious cakes.
