Wax one you made a success or did it fall short of expectations in spite of the material and expense to which you went? It the Utter is the case, then ita high time to stop puttering around in an amateurish way and pay attention to the difference between something that Just covers you and a flattering dress that looks as though youd been melted into it Most common mistake which is frequently made by the seamstress Is the failure to be realistic about figure faults. A woman hates to think her hips spread more than the ideal measurement on a pattern, or that her upper arms are flabby or something else of the kind. These are the usual causes of dresses, snd consequently the dress only points up figure faults. Perhaps youre one of the thousands of women who have not given it any thought before, but almost every feminine figure has distinct variations such as differences between the left and right sides of the bust, hip and shoulder measure ments. Chances are that if you neglect to recognize these facts In your own figure and thus make the proper pattern adjustments, you will do away with one of the primary reasons for making your own clothes, that of a perfectly fitted garment. Perfection of figure is almost an impossibility to achieve, but a perfectly fitted dress Is within everyones reach. With little adjustments here and there, figure faults are minimized so as to be almost nonexistent Good Rule Keep your tires up and your speed down.

Phillips gal-lus- es Select Flattering Length in Hemline The dress should be almost finished before the hem is pinned. Make certain that all side seams are sewed and if the dress has a belt, use this before pinning the hem, as it may lift the dress slightly higher. Current dress lengths may or may not be flattering to you. If they are not, then select one closest to the length now worn and use this on your dress. Expert designers do not insist on a hard and fast rule for length, as long as trend is observed. If you have a dress of flattering length, try this on your form to use as a guide for the hemline of the new dress. Its easy to pin hem marking in with a dress form since you need only place one end of the ruler to the floor, and place the pins at whatever measurement you want for the dress.

If you're pattern is too long waist-e- d for the form which is the twin of your figure, take a horizontal tuck in the pattern between the side seam notch and the dart on the pattern that allows for bust fullness. When the pattern Is too short waisted for the form, slash pattern and insert a strip of tissue paper for the extra length required. Waistlines on patterns are sometimes too large for the wearer, while at other times they are too small. In this case, never let out or take in the. bodice darts as this will alter the original line of the pattern. Merely make a small tapering dart to decrease the pattern or a slight slash filled out with tissue paper to increase the pattern size. If you have made pattern adjustments on the bodice of the pattern, the same alterations should be made at the waistline of the skirt. In this way you can continue to coordinate all the pattern markings which are the actual sewing guide. After the fabric has been cut according to an adjusted pattern, baste all darts and seams. Put the garment on the dress form, right side out, and check for fit On regular hems, tape may be used for the finishing edge. Youll find that this is easier to sew than the dress material, and it will give a nicely finished edge and also avoids the turning of fabric which may be difficult.
