JULIA REINHARDT, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

SKIRT-LINING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 370,161, dated September 20, 1887.

(N0 model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JULIA REINHARDT, of the city and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Skirt-Linings,of which the following is a specification.

My improved skirt-lining is folded and cut out to shape, ready to be used within any fabric forming the skirt, and by being properly shaped'and marked at the lines of sewing the skirt will easily be put together in a correct manner and have the desired contour, thus avoiding the trouble heretofore incident to the fitting and cutting out of the various parts of the skirt, as heretofore usual. By folding the front and back breadths the folds become the front and back marks, to prevent the lining being misplaced in the dress by an inexperienced person.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side view representing the parts of the skirt-lining, and Fig. 2 is a view edgcwise to show the portions of the lining that are folded.

The front breadth, A, is folded double, and the edges are curved near the upper end, so that the bottom of the front breadth is wider than the top. The back breadth, B, is also folded double, and usually is the entire width of the fabric. The top and bottom ends are curved, as shown, and the center is splitdown on the line of the fold about six inches more or less from the top.

The side gores, O, are considerably wider at the bottom ends than at the top ends, and there are two separate pieces forming these side gores, and the edges of the fabric are notched at 3 and 4, so that the seams are to be joined by the notches which indicate the seams which are to be brought together, and there are marks formed by punctures along the lines where the parts are to be sewed together, and at 2, 5, and 6, upon the back breadth .there are traced lines indicating the positions where strips of the tape are to be stitched onto the lining at the edges to form pockets, into which elastics or steels are to be introduced to set out the rear portion of the skirt. The waistband D is folded double and applied to the top edge of the skirt-lining, as usual.

These skirt-linings, cutout as aforesaid, and marked ready for use, and of various lengths, are put up and sold, the same forming a new article of manufacture.

I claim as my invention- 1. Thelining for ladies dressskirts, having I folded front and back breadths and intermediate side gores, and notches to indicate the edges that are to be brought together, and marks to indicate the lines of sewing, substantially as set forth.

2. The skirt-lining having folded front and back breadths, with the edges properly shaped, traced lines to indicate the lines of sewing, notches to denote the parts that are brought together to form the seams, and the lines of marks at 2, 5, and 6, where the tapes and elastics are introduced, substantially as set forth.

Signed by me this 25th day of March, A. D. 1887.

J. REINHARDT.
