Always make little girl's dresses with large hems. Then as the child grows, the hems can be let out and more wear achieved from the garment. gar-ment. A little girl's dress should have an opening sufficiently large around the neck to permit easy getting in and out. Only one button is used for this opening. Very large or small buttons or snaps and hooks are considered poor choice for youngster's garments. gar-ments. Child authorities say that it is easy for the child learning to dress to use the medium-sized flat button, but he is lost with the outsize out-size or small size. Teach him self reliance by making it easy for him to dress himself. For boys' one-piece garments, use a drop seat controlled by a belt. This is easy for the boy to manage even at an early age and looks neat. The drop seat can have an elastic run through a casing so that it snaps back into place easily after being stretched. |
