About this title

Synopsis:

Excerpt from Instruction Book: Designing; Pattern Drafting; Dress Making; Millinery

The student upon taking up the study of this work should at once learn the importance of accuracy, carefulness, and thoroughness. As early as possible the student should form the habit of making a mind's picture of the garment she intends to design. This does not mea i, however, that there will not be changes in ideas as, first conceived; to the contrary, seldom is a design ever completed as it was originally planned.
