LESSON 132.
HOW TO GRADE A JUNIOR'S FIVE-CORE SKIRT.—SIZE 12.
In beginning to grade be careful to cut out the gores belonging to this skirt. This skirt shows five gores, including the front, which is not graded in width. The width for skirt should be graded for side width of gores, meaning all gores except the front. Increase the width from I to K and from O to Q before commencing to grade; measure from G to the hip line and from L down to the hip, and cross lines from X to I and from Z to O. These lines show the increase in height, at the same time when increasing the waist allow this amount; which increases the waist all the way down to the bottom from K and T and from Q to R. For junior skirts we also increase the length of skirt, as shown on the diagram, to all parts of the skirt, also the front from B to E and D to F, from H to Y, from T to M and from N to V; from R to S allow 1 inch for lengthening the skirt. The length of skirt can be increased to any amount wanted. This completes the grading for the size 12 5-gore skirt.
