[No. 99

for ½ in. measurements. I have corrected the curve from neck to lower line of V in order to insure an accurate fit. I have inserted a V at armhole, and corrected an error in the cut of the armhole, and in the bust-measurement and waist-measurement. I have introduced lines adapted for the accurate cutting of a high-necked, low-necked, or a square-necked front. I have introduced waved, dotted, dashed, solid, and black lines for the front darts in bodice. No. 2 Plan (side body for front): I have corrected this pattern by making it about 1 in. wider throughout. I have introduced dots (or holes) marked 30 to 50 to insure accuracy of fit under the arm. I have discontinued the lines beyond the waist-line marked 5, as, if the lines were continued, an error was liable to be made in taking waist-measurements for bust-measurements. I have corrected the line from bottom of plan to top of outside curve in order to perfect the fit. I have introduced ½ in. measurements in the waist-lines, marked 5½, 6½, 7½, 8½, 9½, and 10½. No. 3 Plan (the back): I have introduced dots (or holes) at neck from centre line to dot (or hole) marked 9, to form the curves for the neck, thus making a better fit, and preventing a crease in the dress forming at the neck. I have introduced ½ in. waist-measurements marked 11½, 12½, 13½, 14½, 15½, 16½, and 17½. I have corrected all the curves in order to make an accurate fit. No. 4 Plan (side-body for the back): By taking in ½ in. on inner curve I have corrected an error in the waist-measurement, and insured a perfect fit. I have carried out the points at the top of the design in order to make a perfect fit. I have corrected the perpendicular waist-lines. I have introduced ½ in. waist-lines marked 11½, 12½, 13½, 14½, 15½, 16½, and 17½. No. 5 Plan (sleeve): I claim this as my own original design. No. 6 Plan (new back curve and collars): I claim these as my own original designs.”
