Summary
Pathe synopsis: A novel way of making a dress in strips? No, nothing so complicated at that - it’s a do-it-yourself way of getting an accurate cast of your own figure for dressmaking. The form is made by sticking strips of brown paper on a layer of stockingette worn by the girl in question. The form is cut off the model, reinforced and is then ready for use.
