QUICK DRESSMAKING
Threequarters of an hour for sewing a complete dress is certainly worth being registered as a new record. Thisi speed was attained by the winner of a dressmakers’ competition in Berlin recently. Half a hundred participants had entered and for about an hour the large hall, where the event took place, was filled with the hum of the fifty sewing machines. The dresses were afterward worn by manikins and sold in an auction, so that even those competitors who were not among the prize winners did not go home empty handed.
