e'ct being tojgifnsure tlief cuttingof the ornab merited-fabric iii-such a way that wlien 'the' broidery and the like, upon piece goods, the

embroidery for several portions of a single garment being disposed in separate positions upon. a single piece of fabric, so that the appropriate .portionsof the garment may be cut out from the fabric, each piece carrying its appropriate portions of the design. This cutting out has been done by the use of ordinary dressi'nakers patterns, which, being outlines only, cannot always be accurately positioned on the fabric so that the embroidery will berproperly centered upon the cut out piece. Besides this, after the pieces have been cut out,the designs are apt to be distorted from true position during the process of fitting, which involves modifications of the outlines of thepiece at various points,

so that when the garment is finally fitted the embroidery is apt to be moreo-r less askew. By means of which I will now explain, I am enabled to avoid these irregularities in the completed garment, and to in. sure the correct and accurate positioning of the designs in their appropriate places in the finished article.

Fig. 1 is a view of a piece of fabric with typical ornamental designs for different portions of a'dress thereon; and Fig. 2 is a view of another piece of inexpensive material upon which the designs are reproduced by printing or the like and are enclosed by appropriate outlines of the several sections of the garment to which they belong. The ornai rented fabric 1 is usually of expensive material, such asvelvet, silk, or the like, and i to permit the sections for a single garment to be cut therefrom.

-Upon this fabric is placed, by the manufacturer, ornamental designs, such, for iustance, as bead embroidery, indicated by the numerals 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, which are so placed upon the material as to leave ample ate section of a garment may be out. A try- *rel ates to the cutting and "several {pieces shall s preferably of an appropriate size space around them from which the appropmed material w l f fmat resses;anathe a out pattern '9 isforme'dof a piece of inexi pensive material, of preferably-the samesize as a fabriopieee=1;yand'upon *it'is-placed, by stamping-or s milar means, the-pattern or the embroidered ornamentation of the fabric piece'l, the-various sections of ornainenta tion being "placed in positions on the piece to correspond I withtheir positions on the piece 1:; and bein'g also 'SLH-I'OUIISlGCl by the outlines of the several pieces of the garment, as10,*l1, 'l2','1 3, 14,15,16, to which they relate.

lVhen, therefore, it is desired to make up into a" garment the ornamented fabric, the

try-out piece is first used, and the sections of the garment are cutout from i't-along the pattern lines. The various sections are then joined and correctly fitted on the person'of the wearer of the garment, so that the try-out forms a garment of the desired cut and showing the designs in the various portions of the garment in their appropriate positions. The fact that the ornamental designs are shown upon the try-out permits the person, in fittingthe sections, to avoid displacement of the design, as he could not do ifhewere working with plain unornamented pattern sections.

, .VVhen the try-out has been correctly fitted,

itis then taken apart and the designs on the various sections are made to register witn the corresponding designs on the piece goods 1. The sections are then cut from the piece goods so that they correspond accurately with the several sections of the try-out pattern. The' fabric sections may then be united to form the finished garment, the ornamentation of the various sections centering properly, and corresponding in position with the designs on the try-out pattern.

By following the above directions, the purchaser of an expensive, ornamented dress pattern, for instance, is assured of being I able to successfully cut out and fit the embroidered fabric, without errors, and so to have a thoroughly artistic and well balanced finished garment, and to do this by the aid, of anordinary seamstress or garment worker, and without the aid of a highly skilled tailor or artist; for my above described method eliminates thecommon errors of judgment which are likely to occur when an unskilled person attempts to construct a garment of ex ensive and highly ornamentliich is so arranged that each section of the garment mustba accurately cut from a predetermined part of the mate rial, and Where mistakes in cutting cannot be remedied by cutting newpieces from another portion of the material.

It is obvious that the styles of the ornamentation for the difierent sections of the garment may be indefinitely varied, and that the pattern outlines can be modified to suit the different styles of garments or articles to be made from the ornamented fabric, all Without departing from the principle of my invention as described and claimed.

Having thus described my invention, What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is The steps in the process of cutting and fitting a garment from an expensive, Woven, textile fabric 7 having ornamental designs thereon for different parts of the garment, said steps consisting in first incidentally forming a try-out garment by cutting the parts therefor from a piece of inexpensive, Woven, textile material bearing thereon copies of the designs of the more expensive material, similarly relatively positioned, and also outlines of the garment parts, each outline being properiylocated With reference to the particular design-copy appurtenantthereto, the cutting-out of the parts being guided by such outlines, and by then assembling, modifying and fitting the parts to the person of the wearer, then separating the fitted sections thus modified, positioning them as patterns on the more expensive fabric and in proper relation to their respec tive designs thereon, and then cutting from such fabric the ultimate garment parts by following said pattern outlines.
