I patterns.

It is especially adapted for use'in cutting what "are known as princesse undergarments, that is, one-piece undergarments of non-elastic or 'unstretchable material, ex-

tending substantially to or below the knees andfitting closely to the contour of the figure atthe waistline and over-theihips.

The object 'is'to provide a standard pattorn by the use of which in cutting garments .120 of the character desribed, thefit of the garments wilhbe materially improved and the cloth for the same economically utilized.

My invention comprises a pattern the length of the garment to be cut. extending from the fr n't to a point substantially to the rear of a vertical line passing from the armpit 'over the wearers hip, at which point thecontraction of the female figure at the -waist relatively to the lower portion of the body is most marked, and a cooperating pattern section or sections for use with the main pattern section. The said pattern sections are suitably proportioned to insure the smooth, close fit and graceful hang of the garment-cut therefrom.

Referring to the drawings: Figure 1 is a large full length pattern section. Fig. 2 is V a cooperating pattern section. Fig. 3 is an ,additional cooperating pattern section. Fig.

0 dis a patternfor the buttoning flaps. -Fig.

dis a front view of a figurediessed'in a combined'corset cover and drawers cut from 'my pattern. Fig. 6 is a rear View of a figure "dressed in a similar garment cut from my pattern. Fig. 7 is a pattern for a closed yoke. Fig. 8 is a front elevation of a com-- bined corset cover and drawers, the yoke of the same cut from a pattern section similarto that shown in Fig. 7.

' T5 v Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several'views. I

The undergarment shown in Fig. 8 is the subject of Patent No. 1,034,071 granted to me July 30, 1912, on application filed J anu- I is my 20, 1910.

It will be understood that the pattern sections shown in Figs. 1 and 2 may be em ployed twice in. cutting the cloth for the garment. The section shown in Fig. 3 need only be employed once, although if preferred the portionto the left of dotted line 31 may be employed as a separate pattern section. 31 indicates i the line upon which the pattern section is folded when the section is cut. I

Referring to the pattern section of Fig. 1,

and to the garments shown in Figs. 5 and (i p which are assumed to have been out from the patterns shown in Figs. 1, 2 and, 3, the garment section. corresponding in outline to the said-pattern section comprises the full length of thegarment and extends from the median line in front. around the hip and beneath the armpit, to line 7 of Fig. 6. As means forconforming the garment section to the contour of the'figure' at the waist and over the hips there is provided in the pattern-sec 'tion, in addition to the inwardly curving side margins 6 and 24, and the sections 22 and 23 indicatmg a palr of darts, a longitu(l1nally disposed opening 18extend1ng upwardly from the bottom of the pattern section andv narrowing near the bustlline-in front. lis opening indicates a section of material to be, cut away on lines 19and Q0 curvingas indicated. at the waist line in opymsite directions toward the side margins. Line 21 in Figs. 5 and 8 indicates the meeting edges of the cloth when brought together in the completed garment. i I

Referring nowto the cooperating pattern sections shown in Figs. 2 and 3, each of In irgins 33,.and 26 and 11 narrow at the waist; line. as indicated. to cooperate with .the main pattern section and duplicate pattern sections in conforming to the contour of the figure. "While the portion of the section shown in Fig.3. to the right of line 31 the pattern. section of Fig. 2 may be formed in a single piece if desired. the form shown,

in which both pattern sections terminate ap- Line 7, Fig. 6, indicates the points of I union of the garment sections cut from the three pattern sections. while line 11 in said figure indicates the point of union at the opposite edge of the garment section corre-:--

and a duplicate garment section. The said duplicatesection is shown connected at its opposite edge to a duplicateof the garment section conforming to the pattern sec:

tion of F ig. 1. It will be understood that the garmentsections conforming to Figs. 1 and willjbe joined from the crotch, 9, immediately below the short curves 8 and 27, to the bottom of thegarment, thus forming the drawers leg. It will also be understoodthat" the narrowed upper end of the garment section Conforming to the pattern section of Fig. 2, having the narr wed end portion. will be joined to the garment v section. conforming to the pattern section y and 29 of saidfigu'res,vv

of Fig. '3 on lines 28 see line 30 of Fig.8.

The oval recessedfiportion 17 of-Fig. 1. indicates thematerial to be removedto form an armhole. Strap-shaped extensions 13 and l-l flanking said recessed portion are of courseduplicated in the garment section and are there secured together on lines 15 and The curve 'at the top of thegarment section conforming to 32 of Fig. 3, the short curve at the top of the outer strap-shaped extension and the curving upper extension,

The sagging of the completed garment in the back due to the cut of the fabric on the bias at margin 24, will be prevented since marked. being omitted altogether and darts. preferably provided at this point.

margin 19. may also be cut substantially straight with the weave throughout the greater part of ts extension. At the same t me a mlnnnum of separate parts and 'seams. either vertical or horizontal, Will thus be secured by the employment of my improved pattern. the customary vertical seam over the hip. at which polnt the con.-

tour of the female figure at the waist is most Plaits or gathers in the back of the garment will also be unnecessary.

' The pattern section of Fig.

may be employed when it is desired to provide a closedyoke as shown in Fig. 8, in which case the yoke may be sewed to the garment above tucks 41' with extensions 49 flanking the neck opening. I 38 indicates the line upon which'the section is foldedwhen it is cut.

F ig. l shows a pattern section for one of the buttoning flaps shown in Fig. 5 and a pattern for one of those shown in Fig. 8, the pa-ttern for the former extending down 'to dotted line-34. only, and'the pattern for .tlielat-ter from end to end of the drawing. In a garment similar to that shown in Fig. 5 the section mavbe. folded on dotted line 35-and edges 36 and 37 sewed to edge 6 of the main section. a' similar garment section being sewed to the corresponding side of a similar main section.

Itwill be obyious that if desired my improved pattern' may be outlined upon cloth and sold asan article of commerce, as well as in the form of a paper pattern which is the preferred way.

lVha-t I claim is I a v 1.

first mentioned section adapted when applied to the fabric to be out. to have its rearwardly disposed side margin at a bias to the weaye ofthe fabric. the other pattern section adapted readily to permit the fabric section to be out below the waist line at its more for wardly disposed side. substantially straight gith theweave. as and for the'purpo'se speci- 2. A. pattern for undergarments. comprising a section substantially the full length of the. garment, said section narrowing near the waist line. widening toward the bottom and extending from a point in the front to a point in therear short of or-remo"ed from the medianline, and two shorter pattern sections converging toward the waist line, one terminating approximately thereat at the top and widening toward the bottom at one side.- the other terminating approximately thereat at the bottom, the longest of saidv pattern sections adapted when applied to the fabric to be cut. to have a side marginal portion substantially straight with the weave of the fabric and an oppositely disposed side marginal portion at a bi'as to said weave, and the first mentioned of the two shorter pat tern sections adaptedto permit the correas and for the purpose specified.
