The Paper Dress Form

Department Circular Number 207

Frequent requests received by the Department of Agriculture for directions for making gummed paper dress forms have led to the preparation of this circular. It should be understood, however, that the making of these forms having been first taught by the extension workers in the States, the directions herein given are largely a compilation from various State extension circulars and leaflets. It should also be understood that the dress form, popular as it has become as a household convenience, is only one feature of extension teaching in clothing, and that clothing in its turn is only one of many home economics activities that are being carried on in the various States through the Cooperative Extension Work in Agriculture and Home Economics.
