Using questionnaires collected in 1993 and 2003, we examined both the teaching contents and the consciousness of women's college students who took the dressmaking class. We also examined the effect of the government guideline for teaching which was revised in 1989. The main results were as follows. 1) The teaching materials of the dressmaking in junior high school and high school became simpler but more diverse in those ten years. 2) Student's sewing skills varied from student to student. 3) A small change in student's consciousness was found. 4) It seems that the revised government guideline for teaching in junior high school caused remarkable changes in student's skill and in the contents of teaching.
