Dress Reform Patterns.

The following patterns are finely adapted to meeting the requirements of healthful clothing. No woman should be without them. They can be adapted to children as well as adults.

=No. 1.= A flannel undergarment to be worn next to the skin. It covers the whole body from neck to wrists and ankles. Price, 50 cts.

=No. 2.= A garment combining chemise and drawers, arranged with buttons so as to support the skirts and stockings from the shoulders. To be worn next to the preceding garment in cold weather. Price, 50 cts.

=No. 3.= This garment combines chemise and drawers, and also supplies the place of the corset so efficiently that those who have been accustomed to wearing the latter article are happy to dispense with it after a single trial of this dress. It is cut to fit the bust perfectly, thus affording all desirable support. Price, with cloth model, 75 cts.

=No. 4. Gabrielle Dress.= This may be made either long or short to suit the taste of the wearer. When worn with pants it should be from six to nine inches from the floor. Those who do not wish to adopt the pants may wear the dress two or three inches from the floor with dress drawers and leggins. Price, 50 cts.

We can also furnish patterns for skirts, pants for short dress, and dress drawers with leggins, at 25 cts. each.

Those who wish to secure a good fit should send the following measurements:—

1. Bust measure, number of inches. 2. Under bust measure. 3. Waist measure. 4. Length of waist under arm. 5. Hips, three inches below the waist, 6. Width of back across shoulders. 7.

Around arm-size (high up).

When desired, garments will be made at as reasonable rates as possible, and sent by express. The patterns will be sent, post-paid, on receipt of the prices marked. We employ an experienced dress-maker to cut patterns and make garments, so that all may feel sure of obtaining a good fit if proper measures are sent. We hope that our friends will not fail to avail themselves of this opportunity for obtaining just what they need for their health, comfort, and convenience.
