GAY'S timetable

COULD you believe it? The pretty frock which Angrave has drawn here is made from only three sections. In fact, if you buy instead of make the belt, from two sections.

They are outlined in the diagrams in the drawing.

As this is the weather when quick-work dressmaking is most to be desired, I have worked out a time-table showing you how it can be made in 2 hours. I've drafted it for the business girl who can get home by about 6 o'clock, have a spot of food and then be ready to start her dressmaking at 7.

But the 24-hour scheme would apply equally, of course, at any periud

of the day which may be more convenient to housewives.

So here is my plan for making up this pattern in one evening. You may

be a bit quieter and you may be a bit slower, but this is a good timetable for the average worker,

FASHION NOTES
