_Dress Reform Patterns._
The following patterns are finely adapted to meeting the requirements of
healthful clothing. No woman should be without them. They can be adapted
to children as well as adults.
=_No. 1._= A flannel undergarment to be worn next to the skin. It covers
the whole body from neck to wrists and ankles. Price, 50 cts.
=_No. 2._= A garment combining chemise and drawers, arranged with
buttons so as to support the skirts and stockings from the shoulders. To
be worn next to the preceding garment in cold weather. Price, 50 cts.
=_No. 3._= This garment combines chemise and drawers, and also supplies
the place of the corset so efficiently that those who have been
accustomed to wearing the latter article are happy to dispense with it
after a single trial of this dress. It is cut to fit the bust perfectly,
thus affording all desirable support. Price, with cloth model, 75 cts.
=_No. 4. Gabrielle Dress._= This may be made either long or short to
suit the taste of the wearer. When worn with pants it should be from six
to nine inches from the floor. Those who do not wish to adopt the pants
may wear the dress two or three inches from the floor with dress drawers
and leggins. Price, 50 cts.
We can also furnish patterns for skirts, pants for short dress, and
dress drawers with leggins, at 25 cts. each.
Those who wish to secure a good fit should send the following
measurements:—
1. Bust measure, number of inches. 2. Under bust measure. 3. Waist
measure. 4. Length of waist under arm. 5. Hips, three inches below the
waist, 6. Width of back across shoulders. 7. Length of drawers from
waist down. 8. Length of back from neck to waist. 9. Length of sleeve
inside. 10. Length of sleeve outside. 11. Length of shoulder. 12. Around
neck. 13. Around arm-size (high up).
When desired, garments will be made at as reasonable rates as possible,
and sent by express. The patterns will be sent, post-paid, on receipt of
the prices marked. We employ an experienced dress-maker to cut patterns
and make garments, so that all may feel sure of obtaining a good fit if
proper measures are sent. We hope that our friends will not fail to
avail themselves of this opportunity for obtaining just what they need
for their health, comfort, and convenience.
GARMENT and STOCKING SUPPORTERS are also kept at this Office.
