Sewing: five sizes fit ali,
garment expert informs

I want to make myself a
dress, but I want it to fit
loose. What should I de?

Freda Krause, who teaches
sewing and works part time at the
Thread Beer fabric store in West
Vancouver, offers the following
information.

Garments are sized into five cat-
egories of fit: close-fitting, fitted,
semi-fitted, loose-fitting and very
loose fitting.

Each has a certain arnount of

reom or case built into the pattern
so the garment will fit as it should
for its design.

The patiern in question is a size
10, loose-fitting style which should
have 12 to 20.5 centimetres (5 1/8"
to 8") of case built in.

For the dress to fit loosely it
isn’t necessary to make a larger
size; it will fit loosely duc to the
loose-filting silhouette built in to
that particular pattern. All patterns
have the fitting indicated on them.

Choose same color hosiery

From page 22
would like to reveal.

A knitted skirt is also a good
choice since it gives unlimited
movement and still reveals the
curve of your legs, if you are used
to exposing them.

Generally, choose hosiery that is
the same color or darker than the
skirt. Wear closed pumps, flats,
slip-ons and narrow fitted boots
with high vamp (front). Heel height
depends on the length of skirt and
the effect you want to achieve.

Avoid open toes or heels, heavy

’ soles and wide boots such as west-
em and knee-length styles. Choose

higher heels if wearing a long top
or jacket, shorter heels if wearing a
shorter top, and flat heels if a more
casual look is desired.

Words of advice; make sure
there is enough give in the skirt to
be able to take a high step (perhaps
to get onto a bus) or step into a car.

If you have a high back slit,
check your rear view in a mirror.

Slits are designed for easier
walking, but some reveal too much.

Try sitting down and crossing
your legs to muke sure that a side
or front slit doesn’1 fall open. They
are fine for evening, but may not be
appropriate at the office.
