Tips on Making
Wrap-Arounds
The wrap-around or side
wrapped closing is one of the
latest fashion notes.
This fashion emphasis
garments wrapped and tied
at the left-shows up in coats,
dresses, palazzo pants,
halters, sweaters and
blouses. This style,
reminiscent of the 30’s and
40’s, is being updated with
new fabrics and colors. The
raglan or dolman sleeve
takes star billing.
The soft, clinging look of
many of the wrapped
fashions is achieved by using
bias. When working with
bias, certain construction
steps are necessary to get a
good fitting garment. To
avoid stretching bias areas,
handle the garment as little
as possible during con
struction. Stay-stitch true
bias seams in the direction of
the gram. Areas which are
apt to stretch badly can be
stablized with tape.

Wednesday, February 13
Prices unchanged on light
type hens. Demand fairly
good as plants only operating
part time in instances as'
offerings light and short of
needs. Heavy hens adequate
for a fairly good call.
Prices paid at farm; light
type hens 6-9; mostly 8-9 in
Pa.; mostly 8-9 in NJ.
Heavy type hens TFEWR.
Allow skirts cut on the bias
to hang overnight before
hemming. Fabrics with
excessive stretch or give are
not suitable for bias-cut
garments.
To reduce bulk and
eliminate the necessity of
facings, edges of wrap
around garmerits are often
bound.
