June 21, 1966 P. A. REED 3,256,528
GARMENT CONSTRUCTION Filed July 25, 1962 F/GZ \L z 1 INVENTOR 3 PAUL/NE A. REED BY WW ATTORN- EY United States Patent 3,256,528 GARMENT CONSTRUCTION Pauline A. Reed, 9 Sylvia St., Glen Head, N.Y.; Frederick C. Reed, Jr., executor of said Pauline A. Reed, deceased Filed July 25, 1962, Ser. No. 212,215 3 Claims. (Cl. 2-243) ing edges and in making alterations and with many materials the handling of the fabric is difiicult.
The general objert of the invention is to provide an improved lined garment and method of making the same, by which these difiiculties are overcome.
In making a dress or other garment according to the method of the present invention, the outer fabric and the lining panels are cut out, stitched together along two or three sides turned inside out and pressed flat and the composite panels thus formed are sewed together to form the completed dress providing automatically finished edges along all seam lines, and also at the hem or other edge of the garment.
A garment and method embodying the invention in a preferred form will now first be described with reference to the accompanying drawing, and the features forming the invention will then be more particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the drawing:
FIG. 1 is a schematic elevation of a completed dress;
FIG. 2 is a flat schematic View showing fabric, lining and pattern pieces superposed for cutting the panels;
FIG. 3 is a sectional view on the line 33 showing the structure of the panel prior to turning the same inside out;
FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 3, but showing the panel turned inside out; and
FIG. 5 is a section along a seam line in the completed dress.
FIG. 1 indicates a bodice panel pattern piece 1, skirt panel pattern piece 2 laid out on the lining 3 of dress fabric 4. The dotted lines 5, 6 and 7 indicate the lines along which the fabric 4 and lining 3 are sewed together after cutting out according to the outline of the pattern preces.
Dart locations may be indicated as at the point 8 by tailor tacks joining the fabric and lining together, with the loose ends on the fabric side. Two layers of fabric thus joined together have the appearance presented in FIG. 3, in which one comer of the upper or lining layer has been indicated as separated and turned back so as to indicate the two thicknesses of material without undue exaggeration of thickness.
The structure of FIG. 3, in which the reverse of both the goods and the lining are outside, is now turned inside out and pressed flat producing a composite panel having the structure indicated in FIG. 4. Here also the layers of material have been indicated as separated and turned back at one corner so as to show the placement of the layers and the seam Without undue exaggeration of thickness.
The various panels having been prepared in the manner indicated in FIG. 4 are now stitched together to form the completed dress, in which the seams have the structure indicated in FIG. 5, being finished without further work due to finished edges of the panel piece of FIG. 4.
In the case of the skirt panel or other garmentedge panel having a substantially straight edge of the garment along one of its edges, it will be apparent that the mate rial may be turned up to form a hem without need for any hem binding strip, as the edge is finished. In the case of the skirt panel shown in FIG. 2, stitching 7 indicates the hem edge and it will be apparent that no binding strip is needed. The edges of the arm holes or sleeves may be similarly finished by turning the material inward to the required distance and securing in place.
In turning a composite panel having a tack 8 inside out, the tack remains on the lining and is used to locate the dart, the material and lining being stitched together from this point to the edge of the panel before folding and cutting to form the dart.
As will be apparent, the method of the invention provides for the construction of a lined dress or other garment having finished seams with a minimum of work. By comparison with the usual lined dress, alterations may also be made very simply as all that is required is relocating the seam and pressing the material flat to both sides of the new seam line. V
The construction of the invention may be used with materials of any type from heavy wool suit or coat materials to crepe de chine or other thin and comparatively sleazy goods, and linings of various types may be used as required although organza is the preferred material for most dresses.
A marked advantage of the method of the present invention where working with sleazy fabrics isthat, once the composite panel has been formed, the organza or other lining imparts enough body to the composite panel to facilitate handling in a manner which would not be possible with the fabric alone. The method of the invention also eliminates all difliculty with materials having a tendency to ravel due to preliminary finishing of the edgeof each panel.
While it is preferred to cut the fabric and lining simultaneously, they may be cut separately where preferred and then superposed and stitched, the procedure otherwise being identical to that above described. While the invention has been described with reference to the construction of a dress, it will be apparent that it is also applicable to garments of variouskinds, including coats, suits, shirts and legged garments such as slacks or shorts.
What is claimed is: I
1. Method of making a garment which comprises cutting and stitching fabric to form a plurality of composite panels, each consisting of a layer of fabric and a layer of lining material in face to face relation and stitched together along two opposite edges, turning the said composite panels inside out to bring the faces of the fabric and lining material outermost and the stitching to the edges of said panels, stitching the said composite panels together to form the garment, the said panels being joined along their previously stitched edges inwardly of the cut edges, whereby the said previously stitched edges form finished seams and spreading the stitched composite panels to provide a smooth surface of the exposed fabric layer across the seam between adjacent panels.
2. Method according to claim 1, comprising also taking a tailor tack in a said composite panel with the thread ends on the fabric side thereof, pulling the tack out of the fabric in turning the composite panel inside out and leaving it in the lining to locate a dart.
3. Method of making a garment which comprises cutting and stitching fabric to form a plurality of composite panels, each consisting of a layer of fabric and a layer of lining material in face to face relation and stitched together along two opposite edges and one end, turning the said composite panels inside out to bring the faces 3 4 of the fabric and lining material outermost and the stitch- 2,486,835 11/ 1949 Friedland 2-211 ing to the edges of said panels, stitching the said panels 2,890,460 6/1959 Levi 2-243 together to form the garment, the said panels being 2,912,698 11/ 1959 Greenblatt 2-211 joined along their previously stitched edges inwardly of 2,993,210 7/1961 Bubes 2-93 the cut edges, whereby the said previously stitched edges 5 3,054,114 9/1962 Sherman 2-243 form finished seams and turning up the said end to form OTHER REFERENCES a. hem and spreading the stitched composite panels to provide a smooth surface of the exposed fabric layer Vogue Dfessmaking P 1949, The Comic across the seam between adjacent panels.
