Excerpt from Instruction Book: Designing; Pattern Drafting; Dress Making; Millinery The student upon taking up the study of this work should at once learn the importance of accuracy, carefulness, and thoroughness. As early as possible the student should form the habit of making a mind's picture of the garment she intends to design.
