Now use again the first numbers as 1 and 10 is 11 and multiply these numbers which makes 6 times 11, which amounts to 66 inches or 5 feet 6 inches, which is the total height of the body. This method is a necessity in order to know the increase or decrease for different height and width proportions. If the proportional measurements are changed, we shall know how much the measurements are increased or decreased, which maybe changed from to time.
The height proportions, which are given above by this method are only for women's sizes. The smaller sizes, which are misses, juniors, children and infants are also herewith explained according to the change of height necessary for their ages. The operation of each will be found in the following pages. The height for the different sizes are as follows:
| Womens regular proportions are 5 feet 6 inches. | |||
| Misses' Sizes | 18 | shall measure in height | 5 feet 5 inches. |
| 16 | 5 feet 4 inches. | ||
| 14 | 5 feet 3 inches, | ||
| Juniors' Sizes | 18 | 5 feet 4 inches. | |
| 17 | 5 feet 3 inches. | ||
| 16 | 5 feet 2 inches. | ||
| 15 | 5 feet 1 inch. | ||
| 14 | 5 feet. | ||
| 13 | 4 feet 11 inches. | ||
| 12 | 4 feet 10 inches. | ||
| Children's Sizes | 14 | 5 feet. | |
| 12 | 4 feet 10 inches. | ||
| 10 | 4 feet 8 inches. | ||
| 8 | 4 feet 4 inches. | ||
| 6 | 4 feet | ||
| Infants' Sizes | 4 | 3 feet 8 inches. | |
| 3 | 3 feet 6 inches. | ||
| 2 | 3 feet 4 inches. | ||
| 1 | 3 feet | ||
