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)
