THE PRACTICAL DESIGNER

LESSON 93.

SIZE TWELVE.—JUNIOR'S BOX COAT.

For this garment we use the regular measurement of the size wanted. Follow the same outline as the first junior draft of the same size. The length of this garment is 40 inches, as from A to 16. After having all outlines complete we first divide from? to G. which makes N; take from N to G. 1 1/2 inches; cross a line from N to E down to 11; this line gives the width of back on the side towards the front; E is on the hip and box lines: from T to X is the bust measurement as always; cross a straight line down from 7 to V, which is the bust measurement; from X to Y 3 inches are allowed for seams; cross a straight line down from X to 8, the hip line; measure the hip from 8 to 9 on the two-thirds; allow 1 inch from 9 to 10 for fullness; cross a line from G over to 10 and down to 1;2this completes the side part of this garment. Allow 3 inches for button stand from S to V and from X to Z. Should we want the side of this coat shaped it shall be shaped from the arm hole. This completes the garment with all seams allowed.
