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.
