youngsters usually have such fine,
healthy bodies, b a s ic a lly good fig

They look so p e rfe ct in alm ost any

pleasure to sew fo r them.
Youngsters go through th e ir clo th

things can be rem odeled to fit
q uick as a w ink.
Styles in young g irls ’ dresses va ry

have tw o o r three good basic pat

her happy.
F o r school dresses and outfits,
