(2) Skirt.
(a) Subgarments. Subgarments for the skirt try--on are a bra, panties, hosiery, the shirt
and the oxford shoes.
(b) Measurements. The waist, hip, and height measurements are required for proper size
and model try--on garment. (Refer to Fig. 4--1 a through g for proper measurement procedures.)
(c) Selection of Try--on Garment.
Use the individual’s waist, hip, and height
measurements and refer to the size prediction chart (table 4--1) for the selection of the initial
try--on size. The hip measurement will determine if a Junior (J), Misses (M), or Womens (W) size
is required, and the height measurement determines the length of the skirt.
(d) Alterations.
1 Hips, Waist and Waistband. Seams and waistband may be altered to hip and waist
size as long as the skirt balance is maintained.
2 Length. The Skirt Length may be altered to desired length by adjusting the skirt
hem. The finished hem should be uniform and 2 1/2 to 3 inches wide.
