Illinois Valiev News, Thursday, September 29, 1949 WOMAN'S WORLD Right Pattern Use Helps You Fashion-Wise By Ertta Haley YOU’RE hard to fit. if you w ant to be fashionably dressed and if you w ant to save money on clothes, the best thing to do is to m ake friends with paper patterns Though your m a terial m ay cost $7. it’s easy enough to m ake it into a dress worth three tim es th at am ount with the proper styling and workm anship. Like buying a dress, selecting the proper p attern and m aterial which goes with it, the case requires some study. However, the study is fasci nating since you are the subject, and the grade you m ake is a ticket to the group who knows how to dress.

Many women will try a p attern and give up in discouragem ent be fore they finish. Why? The p attern m ay look deceptively sim ple but carries a lot of fine detailing that the inexperienced ju st sim ply can’t cope with. If you’re not certain of how you can determ ine these things, consult the clerk or take along a friend who knows about patterns. One reason why p attern s have become so popular is th a t m any women have found their use a p er fect solution to the fitting problem . The size you need in a d ress is the size you will need in the pattern , but the best way to decide the size is to take m easurem ents and then com pare them with those given for the p attern.
