Improvements in charts for dress-cutting.*

Description.—This invention is for improved charts for
dress-cutting, and consists of the features hereinafter de-
scribed in the drawings: Fig. 1 is a view of the front
of bodice plan. Fig. 2 is a view of the front side of
bodice plan. Fig. 3 is a view of the back plan. Fig. 4 is a
view of the side body of the back plan. Fig. 5 is a view of
the sleeve plan. The curves a, b, c, d in Fig. 1 as shown do
away with having to measure 2 in. down and ¼ in. back as on
the ordinary charts; e, f, g are the circular fronts for
evening dresses, which have been lengthened ¾ in. on bust
line h and reduced ¾ in. on shoulder (i) to give the shape.
The square neck-fronts j k have also been extended 1 in. on
shoulder (i) and ¾ in. on bust line h to give correct shape. The
front bust lengths h have been extended ½ in., and lines
l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, representing front length of bodice,
have been extended ½ in. to do away with having to add ½ in.
when taking measurements. A second dart has been intro-
duced at armhole (w) for measurements from 40 to 50 to
correct the shape of armhole and to avoid having to move
plan to get correct position to meet front seam of sleeve.
The curves x, y, z, a1, b1, c1 at armhole have been altered
to do away with having to measure 2 in. up from the dart
and ½ in. back. The bust-darts d1 and e1 have been lowered
⅔ in. to meet recent styles of dress-cutting. The angle at
waist (f1) has been altered to a curve to improve the shape.
The points at armholes have been done away with, also
lines below armholes to length 5, to simplify the reading of
measurements. The curve g1 in Fig. 2 has been introduced
for the purpose of forming accurate shape for armhole, the
width has been extended, as h1, to correspond with No. 1
plan. I have introduced the curve at neck (i in Fig. 3), and
extended the plan, which prevents having to move the plan
to get the correct curve and to do away with the collar-piece.
The lines across the back have also been curved at j1 to
enable the cutter to get correct curve without shifting the
plan. The whole plan has been extended ½ in., thereby
giving correct curve for back and side back. The angle at
waist has been altered to a curve (h1) to improve the shape.
The width across the back in Fig. 4 has been reduced ¼ in.
to avoid using collar-piece. The points have been done away
with and perforations introduced at m1 to mark inches and
half-inches. The top part of upper sleeve, Fig. 5, has been
reduced ¼ in. to correct the shape. The curve towards the
front has been extended ⅔ in. for the same reason. I have
introduced lines for wrist-measurements to avoid having to
correct undermeasurements by putting top perforations over
top mark and swerving plan to the correct length. I have
improved curves to collars, and reduced lengths ¼ in. from
6 to 8½ to correspond with neck-measures of bodice, and
I have introduced also three collars, pointed, circular, and
collars hooked at side. Referring again to Fig. 1, I have
also introduced the pointed (n1) and the rounded (o1) lapel.
Claim. — The general construction, arrangement, and
combination of parts composing my improvements in charts
for dress-cutting, all substantially as and for the purposes
set forth with reference to the drawings.
