Modem Patterns Catch Up With Women's New Sizes uy uuiWTIIV ROE Associated Press Women's Editor The shape of American women has changed considerably in the last 50 years?and at last home sewing dress patterns have caught up with the change. For many years the pet gripe of home seamstresses has been the peculiar measurements of patterns, requiring much time consuming alteration and often resulting in uncertain fit. Now, however, the measure ment standard committee of the pattern industry has Agreed on new standard sizing for all pat terns, conforming more nearly to dress sizes in the ready-to wear field. Time was when the standard of womanly beauty was a "per fect 36". with other proportions in accordance, but today every woman works for the ideal 34 bust. 24 waist, 34 hip measure ment. The modern figure has changed since grandmother's day Today i the bust line is higher, the waist and hips smaller. And now all patterns sold in department stores and local sewing centers have been changed to fit the new na tional figure more accurately. AH new pattern catalogs have insert sheets show ing the new measurements. However, the changeover is not yet complete on the pattern envelopes, though the pattern inside is cut to the new sizing The trick is to select the pattern size from the chart in the catalog and ignore the measurements printed on the en velope. New pattern envelopes have the new measurements, but older ones may not. The patterns themselves have all been changed and it is practically impossible now to find a pattern with the old measurements. Here are some tips from local sewing center experts on picking the right size pattern according to the new measurements: Today's size 12 misses' pattern is scaled to 32-25-34. as opposed * _ .0.9 to the old measurements of 30-25 33. All the pattern companies have adopted the new measure ments. and the only difference between individual patterns now is the amount of ease allowed through the bustline. This varies from 4 to 6 inches. If your bust is 33 inches, you have a choice of the size 12 or the size 14 pattern, and in most eases the size 12 would be right. The exception to this rule will be in the case of a garment that requires consider able case, such as a sports out fit. Buy your patterns by your actual bust measurement, and don't worry about allowing ease. That's all taken care of. The patterns are still slightly differ ent from ready-to-wear sizes, but the alterations required will be fewer and less complicated than before. When buying a suit or coat pattern, buy the same size you require for a dress or blouse. The extra ease, again, has been provided for in the pattern. For slacks or skirts, buy your pattern by the waist measurement, unless your hip measurement is larger than that shown for the size. In that case, buy by hip measure r mcnt Remember that it usually ts easier to take a pattern in than to let it out. If you are taller or shorter than average, you need not let that affect your pattern size. Both lengthening and shortening are easy adjustments to make. The change in sizing follows through the entire range for wo men. misses, half-sizes, juniors and teens. When you go to buy your new patterns, get the salesgirl to take your measurements if you are in doubt as to your correct pat tern size, and let her advise you. You'll find your fitting prob lems much easier if you (jet a complete measurement, including the width across the back of the shoulders, the distance from shoulder to neckline and other trouble spots. Use a tape mea sure to check the pattern size, ( and make alterations on the pat tern before cutting into your fabric. After you have discovered the minor alterations necessary with the new sizes, the same altera tions will be good in patterns from all companies. One final tip- he sure to do Good Breakfast Is Assurance Of A Good Start Serving the school child a guod breakfast serves a double pur pose. nutritionists agree. Proper ly-planned breakfasts get the child off to a better start on each school day. and they help form eating habits that are im portant for better health and well-being all through life. Breakfast should supply from one-fourth to one-third of the daily food requirements. Even adults can seldom make up at other meals the. nutrients missed at breakfast, and it is especially difficult for children to try to "catch up" on nutrition, because of their smaller food capacity. Skipped or skimpy breakfasts may have an immediate bad ef fect on the school boy or girl, causing listlessness and irritabil ity during the late morning hours, or even resulting in poor grades. Such danger signals may be a warning that early morning nutrition is heing neglected. Results Show l'p On the other hand, absence of the danger signals doesn't neces sarily mean the child is getting the kind of breakfast he needs. Results of inadequate breakfasts may show up later in the form of poor teeth, faulty bone struc ture or digestive upsets Safest course is lo plan the morning meal around these basics: fruit or fruit juice, hot or ready-to-eat cereal with plenty of milk, whole grain or enriched bread with butter or margarine, and milk or a milk-rich cocoa or cereal drink. For additional protein, add eggs, bacon, sausage. fish or cheese. The child should Have at least three eggs a w eek, and pre ferably one a day . Breakfast of fers a good opportunity to gel these, eggs in the diet. Good breakfasts bring rewards in belter concentration, faster re actions and reduced muscular fa tigue. for adults arid children alike.
