Synopsis
Excerpt from Mme; Veitch-Simonds Drapery System Chart
This system of cutting is as much superior to the patterns as the work of the artistic tailor is to the ready-made clothing.
A dress well made means something more than fine sewing and elaborate trimming.
No dress, however well the waist is cut and fitted, can give perfect satisfaction unless the work is based on a correct system of designing; herein lies the secret of success.
In introducing this system of draping and designing, the author claims that it meets every demand for simplicity, accuracy, economy of time, material and ease of comprehension, is adapted to every part of dressmaking and is unaffected by any change of fashion it is therefore a means of saving time, labor and money - three points which entitle it to the careful considera tion of all who would be successful in business, as well as every one who would be her own dressmaker.
