Lesson 88

The space between 20 and 24 shall measure the same, and from 18 to 22; cross lines from 37, 18 to 22, and from 37 to 19, and 20 down to 24; begin to make the French seam in front; divide the front shoulder from O to U, making 32. Allow both sides of 32, 33 and 34, 3/8 inch; draw a line from 33 to 37, then draw a line from 34 to 38. following the line from 33 to 37; curve the line at 38 lost to 37, 19 and 20 down to 24, as shown on the diagram; also curve from 37, 18 to 22. Now begin to curve the complete outlines, from A to L; from L to M; from M to 35 raise a seam up to 35 for the side body; curve to G, 14, X and F up to U; curve also the front shoulder from U to O and the front neck part from O to W down to X; curve one-half inch at 1 to 3 and 4, as shown on diagram; curve up from 22 to 4, as shown on diagram; curve from the waist to the hip and raise a line; allow a small amount as shown on diagram from 5 to 7, 6 to 10, 11 to 29, 12 to 28, 15 to 30, 16 to 31. Then curve the bottom; 3 and 4 the same as we have at the back from C to D; be careful to curve strong at the front hip from 16 to 31, which amounts to about 3/4 inch. The other curve should amount to about 1/4 inch only for the hip part. This is cut out the same way as the 36 French seam tight-fitting.
