Description: |
| Claim:
This invention relates to an improved means a for measuring, drafting, and cutting clothing, whereby a more perfect fit is obtained and a great saving made in the quantity of goods used and to this end it consists in a harness adapted, when properly adjusted, to determine in all cases a positive point from which the majority of the most important measurements are taken in a series of scales, each of which is exactly one-fourth the length of a particular bust-measure, and each of said scales being divided into twenty-four equal parts or divis ions, with the addition of about one inch for the allowance for seams, and also in a series of sliding irregular curves so arranged with reference to each other that each shall be distinguished from the other at a glance and adapted to give the required curve to fit any ordinarily-shaped person, of whatever style or size desired |
