2 W. ETHE Aug. 28, 1956 MANUFACTURE OF GARMENTS, SUCH AS SLIPS FOR GIRLS Filed June 22, 1955 INVENTOR.
MAL/AM fW/E 5. 13. BY T @4Q AfiUE/VEV United States Patent William Eth, Bayside, N. Y., assignor to Fairtex Undies, Inc., New York, N. Y., a corporation of New York Application June 22, 1953, Serial No. 363,040
3 Claims. (Cl. 275) This invention relates to the manufacture of garments such as slips for girls.
It is an object of the invention to provide a garment such'as a slip for young girls made by the use of a simple pattern, so designed and associated with the fabric piece from which the diiferent sections are to be cut that elasticity results at the position where it is requisite, and thus the garment may accommodate increased girth as a wearer grows.
The garment is particularly adapted for use by young girls whose waist measurements obviously will increase as they grow even slightly older. It is an object of the invention to provide a slip of this nature for which a simple pattern may be used, with a minimum number of pieces which, when assembled into a garment, accommodate themselves to the increasing girth of a wearer of youthful age. t
It is an object of the invention to provide a method of cutting from a length offabric, pieces for making a'slip ora similar garment whereby substantial bias positioning of the threads results substantially at the entire girth of the waist of the wearer when the pieces are assembled finally into a garment.
It is an object of the invention to provide a garment with a substantially circular skirt portion made up from. a pair of sections of fabric cut from a semicircular pattern, wherein the pattern for each of the sections may be substantially identical, and. wherein substantial saving of material will result from the shaping of the pattern and its association with a length of fabric of standard width.
Other objects of the invention will be set forth hereinafter, or will be apparent from the description and the drawings, in which is illustrated an embodiment exemplifying the invention.
The invention, however, is not intended to be restricted to any particular construction, or any particular arrangement of parts, or any particular application of any such construction or arrangement of parts, or any specific method of operation or use, or any of the various details thereof, even where specifically shown and described herein, as the same may be modified in various particulars, or may be applied in many varied relations, without departing from the spirit and scope of the claimed invention, of which the exemplifying embodiment, herein shown and described, is intended only to be illustrative, and only for the purpose of complying with the requirements of the statutes for disclosure of an operative embodiment, but not to show all the various forms and modifications in which the invention might be embodied.
On the drawings, in which the same reference characters refer to the same parts throughout, and in which is disclosed such a practical construction,
Fig. 1 is a view in perspective, illustrating a garment embodying features of the invention, as it would appear when worn;
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the skirt portion of a garment, as completed, embodying features of the invention, showing the association of two sections cut in a manner such "ice that, when united into the single skirt, with an edging of lace or similar material, substantially a complete circle is produced, a portion of the lace edging and of one of the sections being broken away to illustrate details of construction; and
Fig. 3 is a plan View of a length of fabric, illustrating the manner of disposing a repetition of the pattern on such a length of fabric in order to cut the fabric to obtain the bias relationship desired with maximum utilization of the fabric.
On the drawings, a length 10 of fabric is shown laid out with repetitions of markings derived from a pattern 12 prepared on usual pattern paper or the like. According to the skirt 14 to be made by use of this pattern, pattern 12 may be bounded by a pair of semicircular edges 16 and 18 terminating at straight edges 20 which may be in a common diameter of the circles. Edges 16 would be determined by the waist measurement of edge 22 of garment 24 shown on the child in Fig. 1. Likewise, edges 18 would be determined by the length of edges 20 which thus would determine the diameter of the circle in which edges 18 would lie.
shown in Fig. 3, edge 18 of pattern 28 may be tangent to an edge 26 of length 10. Edges 20 of the immediately adjacent patterns 30 would extend to edge 26. Now edge 18 of each pattern 30 may be arranged in tangential relation to edge 18 of pattern 28 and also edge 18 of a pattern 32 in the immediately adjacent line 34 of patterns 32 and 36. It will be noted that the sets 38 of line 40, aside from being substantially mirror images of sets 42 of line 34, are in slightly stepped relationship so that a high degree of fabric utilization may be effected.
To make up the garment, a pair of sections 48 derived from cutting length 10 according to pattern 12 are positioned with edges 20 in contiguous relation. A pair 49 of portions of edges 20 are seamed together by any suitable means, such as stitching 50, leaving the other portions 51 open for the time being. A substantially circular edge 52 is formed as the outer edge of the assembled sections 48, but with portions 51 open. A suitable trimming 54 may be applied, if desired, by stitching 53 or the like, commencing at one portion 51 and ending at the other, but still without closing portions 51 together.
Thus, in a garment adapted for wear by a growing child, provision is made for expansion, without alteration, at the waist portion of the garment in accordance with increasing girth of the body of the wearer. A single pair of fabric sections are required in order to make a skirt.
.3 The method of disposing the patterns upon the basic piece of material effects great economy while automatically resulting in the elasticity derived from cutting on the bias.
Many other changes could be effected in the particular construction, and in the methods of use and construction, and in specific details thereof, hereinbefore set forth, Without substantially departing from the invention intended to be defined herein, the specific description being merely of an embodiment capable of illustrating certain principles of the invention.
What is claimed as new and useful is:
1. In a garment for wear by children such as a slip or the like, the garment comprising a skirt portion and a bodice portion having a continuous bottom edge, the skirt portion being formed from a pair of sections each of which has a pair of substantially concentric semicircular edges of difierent radii and a pair of .substantiallystraight edges substantially along a common diameter of the two semicircles, the straight edges being disposed at an angle to the direction of the weave in the fabric from which the sections are cut, the sections being secured together along the straight edges to form a single continuous top edge for the skirt portion, said top edge being secured to the continuous bottom edge of the bodice portion, the skirt portion flaring away from the secured together continuous top edge of the skirt portion and the bottom edge of the bodice portion to provide a single substantially continuous free bottom edge for the skirt postion.
'2. In a garment for wear by children, such as a slip or the like, the garment comprising a skirt portion and a bodice portion having a continuous bottom edge, the skirt portion being formed from a pair of sections each of which has a pair of substantially concentric semicircular edges of different radii and a pair of substantially straight edges substantially along a common diameter of the two semicircles, the straight edges being disposed at an angle to the direction of the weave in the fabric from which the sections are cut, the sections being secured together along the straight edges to form a single continuous flaring skirt portion, the arcuate edges of the greater radii providing a substantially continuous free edge, the arcuate edges having the lesser radii being secured to said bottom edge of the bodice portion.
