92 STYLISH CHILD'S MODEL

On the opposite page you will find cut showing front and back view of child's stylish model, from which we learn the following outlines:

The child's dress is built on a loose form. If it is a dress or a separate blouse and skirt, the length of the total garment reaches only to the knee and the waist effect, as a rule, shows below the waist line, although this rule may be changed from tine to time according to whatever style there may be.

When copying styles see that the entire action of the front view shall be transacted the same way at the back which may be referred to the fullness of blouse at the waist or the style of collar. Take into consideration the collar effect, the both look alike, the front and back. You will note the additional stripes shown. Either 2 models give a direct outline of how to follow measurements for child's garments or where the proper place of such measurements are taken
