LADIES' COSTUME.
An image should appear at this position in the text.
TO DRAFT THE BASQUE.

Use scale corresponding with bust measure.

Is in six pieces: Front, Back, Side Back, Collar, and two Sleeve portions.

Care should be taken to connect waist lines.

THE DRAPERY.

Use scale corresponding with waist measure.

Is in two pieces: Front and Back.


The right side of the front drapery is laid in four upward-turning plaits, while the left side is laid in four backward-turning plaits.

THE BACK DRAPERY.

The left side is laid in a double box plait.

The right side is laid in seven backward -turning plaits. They are all marked on the draft.

The space between 37¾ and 51½ on base line, is a loop that falls underneath the drapery. Bring 1¼ on cross measure line running from 37¾ on base line and 12¾ on cross measure line running from 51½ on base line, together at the center of the back.

This forms a lovely drapery without any looping whatever.
