| TEXT | The extraordinary success of the French system of dress cutting, which is equally reliable in fitting bad as well as good figures, has caused it to be made the subject of special investigation in New York. At a certain establishment where eighty-five garments were cut and made by this system and sent home without refitting or trying on, so far as known not one was returned, whereas previously nearly fifty per cent, were sent back for some radical improvement. There is no system of cutting and fitting dresses, etc., published or offered for sale, either in the United States or Europe, that can be compared to this in simplicity and accuracy, or in its adaptation to all forms, shapes, and sizes. This house was established in 1871 by Mr. James McCall, and continued till March, 1884, when he died, and the establishment is now under the management of Mrs. L. Bedell. The premises occupied are very commodious and spacious, elegantly fitted and furnished with every appliance and facility for the prosecution of the business and the comfort of customers, Whatever adds to the charms and elegance of the fair sex is always a matter of special importance, and we arce satisfied that this system of cutting and fitting is unsurpassed. We feel confident that any young woman who will study the French system from the printed directions and go carefully through the work issued by the Messrs. James McCall & Co., price seven dollars and twenty-five cents, will be able to fill the position of cutter and fitter, or conduct business on her own account. Dress-making is no guess work; it is an art which must be acquired. There is no royal road by which a woman can acquire this knowledge; it must be learned individually by those who would excel. Mrs. L. Bedell, the manager, is well known to the community as. a kind and courteous lady in the pursuit of her vocation,, and possesses the respect and confidence of all, and parties entering into business relations with this concern will find all transactions pleasant and satisfactory. |
