Saddle pockets around the hips accentuate the small waist. which you cannot make the skirt fit, you might make a darker skirt to go with the jacket Dark skirts are very slimming with lighter colored Jackets if you are full in the hips. If you have a princess type dress or a button-front dress, try contrasting contrast-ing panels down the center or on the sides to add fullness. This is a good way to adjust the dress, for the short, full figure. If the waistline is too tight, and the dress too short, with no hemline to let out, consider placing a piece of contrasting colored material at the waistline. This may be set in wide or narrow as necessitated by your problem. If the neckline is too titfit, let the shoulder seam out enough to ease the strain on It. There is usual ly enough in the seam allowance to take care of this minor problem. If your sleeves are too short, add crosswise bands below the elbow. Add this detail somewhere else in the dress, too, so that it will look as if it belonged. If your skirt has stretched from wear, adjust the bagginess at the waistline. If the skirt is too short, add a band of niching or ruffles or braid around the hem. Several rows of gay ribbon rib-bon will also do the trick. Add this detail to the sleeves, too. Stitching Pointers Mercerized thread is recommended recom-mended for most sewing because it Is strongest and easiest to use. Select the color of thread by matching closely to fabric. Use correct needle and thread sizes and test on a piece of material mate-rial before attempting to stitch the garment Fine, sharp-pointed needles are best for pinning. In pinning rayon ray-on and taffeta, take care not to mark up the fabric from pinning. Adjust the tension to suit the fabric and test on a scrap before be-fore sewing the garment. Generally Gen-erally speaking, a tighter tension is more suitable for sheerer fabrics, fab-rics, a looser tension for heavier fabrics. Stitch with paper underneath the fabric when working with sheer materials. This provides a firm sewing base and prevents slipping. When you have completed as many single seams as possible, get out the ironing board and press them out Seams should be pressed before sewing other parts together. Press each bit of binding and facing after basting, and sometimes some-times before and after to assure smooth fitting. They will be much easier to machine stitch if the fabric is pressed and seams are straight Look for the South American Influence Influ-ence in play clothes and gay cottons.
