Dress almost finished, Cynthia adjusts her skirt length. The dress's hem will be no deeper than WPB (War Production Board)-approved two inches. Cynthia's fabric-conserving pattern requires only three yards of 39-inch material. For all its fashionable appearance it wastes not one inch of material on unnecessary details. A pattern can be used several times; should not be destroyed when first dress is completed

Cynthia's complete dress spells style plus conservation. By obtaining best quality for least money, Cynthia practices one important war saving: quality wears longer. To twist a turban, Cynthia bought an extra half-yard of material; thus she has a complete costume from a minumum of material. With charming results Cynthia has contributed to the billion yard fabric saving announced by WPB (War Production Board)

Material from last year's garment fashions the skirt of Cynthia's dress. By making some of the clothes for herself and her family, a woman can fully utilize all leftovers.
