Shape the canvas or hair cloth around the bottom, having it run the same thread as the lining, cutting it from 6 to 1 2 inches deep (always make a lapped seam in any kind of stiffening.)

and take out the extra fullness at the under arm seam. To obviate this trouble always run a small thread around the arm's eye when the basting is done. Fullness at the top of the last dart is caused by the lining being drawn too tight in seaming. Remove the basting and draw the material tight over the lining. For a French bias dart, fold a small plait in the lining at the point of dart towards the arm's eye before basting the lining to the goods. Wrinkles in the under arm form is usually caused by the front edge of the side body being stretched in basting to the under arm form. It will be necessary to open the seam and full the lining a little more on the under arm form and baste the stretched edge easy back again to the under arm form. Wrinkles between the last dart and the under arm form are usually caused bv the back seam of the dart being stretched. This side ot the dart should always lining

COSTUMES TO ORDER

Wrinkles are often caused by uneven stitching or too tight a tension on machine or the seams not being properly clipped. Fullness on the shoulder, near the neck, is caused by high shoulders.
