JUNIOR'S, MISSES' AND WOMEN (Revised Edition]

THE 'BODY' MEASUREMENTS, listed below, have been compiled in accordance with those used in the ready-to-wear trade.

THE "UPLIFT BRA' brought about a slight Increase in the bust clrcimference measurement (approximately 2") for all sizes (Fig. A).

THE WIDTH ACROSS BACK has about 3/4' to 1' ease allowance for free arm movement (Fig. B). The shoulders are correspondingly broader, and require pads.

THE PREVAILING GIRDLES have lowered the back waistline slightly, therefore the back waist length measurements have been increased accordingly.

To draft the dress bodice, see pages 2 and 3, and to draft the dress sleeve, see page 4. The measurements given on those pages include ease allowance around bust, waistline, arm, elbow and wri St.
