Classic 12-22 “George Couldn’t Believe I Had Made Them All By Myself!” *‘T TE was dumfounded! And no f 1 wonder ! Six months ago I couldn’t sew a stitch ! But when I told him the whole story, he said something that made me the happiest woman in town ! I used to wonder where in the world my clothes money was coming from! But now — thanks to the School of Modern Dress — I have more and prettier clothes than I ever had before in my life — at a fraction of what they cost in the shops ! And I know that what / did, any woman or girl can do !” Women everywhere are saying things like this, since they have learned, right in their own homes, in spare time, through the School of Modern Dress, how to make all kinds of stylish, becoming clothes. No longer do they have to say. “Oh! I’d just love to go, but I haven’t a thing to wear!” Now, at the mere cost of the materials, they can create for themselves dresses, suits, and hats, that are appropriate and in good taste, whatever the occasion. The remarkable “New Way Course in Fashionable Clothes-Making” was prepared under the guidance of expert dressmakers in simple step-by-step lessons. You need not know anything at all about sewing to begin with. The lessons start with the very simplest stitches and reveal to you step-by-step all the correct “professional” methods of the dressmaker’s art, until you can plan and completely make even the most elaborate clothes for yourself or others. The directions are so simple that anyone who can read can readily understand them — and the pictures show, by actual photographs, just exactly what to do. The New Way Course is designed to accomplish in a few months what formerly would have taken two or three years to do. With it, hundreds of other women have solved their clothes problems ; with it, you can solve yours too. Suppose a fashionable new gown attracts you in a shop wingL dow. You gee that it is just the style most becoming to you, just the kind of a new frock you want. Through the New Way methods of sewing, you can duplicate this dress in ( a few evenings — at one-third or less the ready-made cost. And for the saving you effect through making the dress instead of buying it, you can have two more pretty dresses. Or suppose that the gown you see in the window is not quite appropriate to your type of figure. You can duplicate the style, change the color to suit yourself, alter the lines a trifle here or add a touch there — and you have a distinctive gown, made just for you. For the New Way Course teaches you more than how to make beautiful clothes. It shows the way to make clothes that are beautiful on YOU. You will learn how to combine your dress materials into an artistic interpretation of yourself. You will discover how to express your tastes, your ideals, your very individuality in the clothes you wear. You can learn, too, all about the new materials and how to combine and use them effectively. You learn how to make over last season’s clothes to conform with this season’s styles — thus doubling the life of every garment. You can do away once and for all with the tiresome visits to the dressmaker. You will never need to bother again with the shortcomings of ready-made garments. And yet you don’t need to know even the first thing about sewing or dressmaking in order to master this New Way Course. You begin at the very beginning and progress rapidly, but surely, until you are fully capable of designing, cutting, finishing, fitting, and trimming anything from the simplest apron to the most elaborate evening dress.
