THE side seams and bottom hem of the chemise having been worked, the upper part of the garment must now be arranged. If the chemise be made with a fairly wide shoulder, it will wear much better for having a piece of calico put on for strengthening on the wrong side of the garment, from the neck to the sleeve. It should be cut the selvedge way of the cloth, and either hemmed on the wrong side, or stitched on the right; the width of this shoulderbinder varies with the size of the garment.
