The new dressmaker; with complete and fully illustrated instructions on every point connected with sewing, dressmaking and tailoring, from the actual stitches to the cutting, making, altering, mending, and cleaning of clothes for ladies, misses, girls, children, infants, men and boys . suitable for thegarment. If there are two or three ways of making a garment from the pattern, the lay-outs cover each method of making the garment. The purpose of these lay-outs is twofold. In the first place they are intended to showa woman the most economical way of cutting this garment correctly with the least pos-sible waste of material. In the second place they show her how to place each piece ofthe pattern on the correct grain of the material. If any piece is cut on the WTong grainit will look badly when the garment is worn.
