Abstract
A pants suit pattern that is made to fit an individual having measurements not of the standard or average size and one that is made from a master pattern. A pants suit pattern per se is, of course, the foundation from which fitted slacks, jeans, culottes and shorts may be produced. Thus, it is desirable for the woman who does not fit into standard size, ready-made clothes to choose a pants suit pattern which may be fitted to her individual measurements and provide her with a pair of neatly tailored pants or other carefully made pieces for her wardrobe. The individualized pattern of this invention does just that. It is made from tissue paper and marked over a master pattern. The master pattern has graded measurements on its peripheral sides in outward, upward and downward directions but not on its center front. A pattern is made by cutting and marking these graded measurements to an individual's measurements with the use of a straight edged and curved tool. The tissue pattern may be transferred onto a nylon fabric or working pattern. Built right into the pattern is desired ease and seam allowances of one-half inch except for the waistline and waistband seams which permit one-quarter inch allowance. The pattern is truly an innovation over other variable sized patterns in that it uses a measurement from the center front waistline to the center back waistline or crotch measurement in order to fit the pants to a wearer, and provides for a simplified procedure for so doing.
