No longer do you need: 1. many body measurements 2. the ability to plot body proportions 3. years of training to be able to make your own patterns, In fact, you need not even add 2 + 2. Everything has been done for you. If you can make a dot and read a number you are already halfway toa finished pattern, it all comes down to the sim- ple fact, which is employed in this system, that, since time began, all living things have always fol- lowed the ‘golden rule’ of perfect measurements.

Therefore, any estimate we might possibly work ‘out would, for aitterent sizes, require varying amounts of material. Not having, ‘encugh fabric creates problems, and having too much raises the cost of your garment. We suggest the following procedure to calculate the exact yardage required: Using a large area (free floor space for instance) mark the width of the ma- terial you propose buying. Into this width place all your pattern pieces to their best advantage. BE SURE ALL ARROWS LIE ON THE STRAIGHT GRAIN AND DO NOT FORGET TO ALLOW FOR SEAMS. [Now simply measure this area lengthwise to determine the EXACT yardage required for your garment. ‘Should you wish to purchase an inexpensive piece of material without taking ‘time to measure, It Is very likely that you already know your approximate nocessary yardage. If not, the saleslady will gladly assist you if you advice her of the style you wish to make (with or without sleeves, straight or full ‘skirt, ete.) DO NOT GUESS WHEN BUYING EXPENSIVE MATERIAL.
