The making of clothing has always been one of the chief occupations open to girls and women and still provides employment for thousands of them. To the girl who would like to earn her living this way the dressmaking course offers training in making and altering women's and children's clothing. To take this course, which is two years in length, a girl should have aptitude for sewing, skillful and a-ctive hands, and good eyesight. School work rooms are organized, as far as possible, like shop work rooms. The student learns standards of work, skill in handling tools and all materials used in the trade, as well as the relationship and responsibilities of worker to boss and boss to worker. She works on Cotton, wool, silk, velvet materials, etc., and learns to use commercial patterns, to draw patterns, and to do some draping. Instrucf tion is given in the cutting, Htting, and making of clothes in accordance with recognized dressmaking standards. During the first year of training, garments are all made stock size. In the second, they are made to Ht definite individuals, in the way they are made in a custom shop. Thus the student is given experience not only in putting together the parts of a garment, but in making alterations. See where she comes, apparell'd like the spring. . .
