Hints For the Home Dressmaker,

Always shrink a new braid before sewing to a skirt. In shortening a skirt pattern, too, always fold a plait across the middle of the pattern. Never shorten from the top or bottom of the skirt or the shape wil l be spoiled.

Never hold the skirt, on your lap while basting—remember that it is important to keep it flat--so lay it on the table and baste from top to bot­tom with small, even stitches; keep your seams level and straight.

In maknig up any. material with a nap remember that the nap should always run downward; this fact should not be forgotten when* spong­ing and pressing, otherwise you wil l make a shiny streak on the surface of your material..

For an elderly woman, and also for the woman whose back is not perfectly flat and straight the seam should have more of a tendency toward the back of the ararhole. A young, straighter figure may have the shoulder seams on perfectly straight lines.

All shirtwaist sleeves should be fitted with the arms crossed behind the back of the head as well as in other positions. A sleeve that is not the necessary length from the armhole to the elbows, can never be a comfort­able one; i t wil l always drag, and in many cases make the back of the blouse draw and wrinkle between the

-shoulders. Dressmakers who have difficulty in

-pressing curved seams wil l find a roll­ing pin a good pressing board, if a clean cloth be wrapped around it.

When putting a steel or whalebone into a bodice, bend them slightly at the waist before putting into casing. You wil l find that the bodice wi l t fit to the figure ranch better.

When putting on a collar make neck of bodice or blouse slightly smaller than base of collar band, and notch bodice here putting collar on. avoid wrinkles.
