Independent Claim
78 words
A method for making a garment comprising the steps of advancing two sets of elongated webs in superposed relation, each set comprising web portions adapted to constitute approximately one half of a garment front and one half of a garment back, uniting the webs in each set along a line inclined to the direction of advance, and uniting the web sets along corresponding longitudinal edges of the web portions adapted to constitute one half of a garment back.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
78 words
A method for making a garment comprising the steps of advancing two sets of elongated webs in superposed relation, each set comprising web portions adapted to constitute approximately one half of a garment front and one half of a garment back, uniting the webs in each set along a line inclined to the direction of advance, and uniting the web sets along corresponding longitudinal edges of the web portions adapted to constitute one half of a garment back.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
The method of claim 1 in which prior to the uniting of the web sets, the web portions in each set are united along one longitudinal edge.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
61 words
The method of claim 1 in which subsequent to the uniting of the web sets, the united web sets are transversely severed along two spaced-apart lines, one line being generally perpendicular to the direction of web advance and defining a garment bottom and the other line being adjacent the line uniting the webs in each set and defining a garment top.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
The method of claim 1 in which the united web sets are transversely folded subsequent to severing.

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
39 words
The method of claim 1 in which the web in each set adapted to constitute approximately one half of the garment front is longitudinally folded along one edge thereof to provide a reenforced edge for mounting of fastening means.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
52 words
The method of claim 1 in which each of the web portions adapted to constitute approximately one half of a garment front is wider than the other web portion in each set to provide an overlapped portion, and cutting said overlapped portion along a generally longitudinally extending line to provide a collar.
