A Pattern For You : Clothing Leaflet 1

Nebraska 4-H Clubs: Historical Materials and Publications

A requirement for good-looking clothes is a good pattern, correct in size and design for you, and suitable in design for the fabric. Most pattern companies base the size of their patterns on a standard scale of measurements which is printed on the pattern envelope. You may find that one kind of pattern fits you better than any other and requires less adjustment and fitting. Tables of the measurements in use by each company are given in the counter pattern books.
