LESSON NO. 46 (Continued.)
Begin the front the same as usual, from G to F is 3 inches for all sizes larger than 36 and for smaller sizes, this space shall be 1⁄6 of the size. Otherwise, this draft is followed as usual. Now draw a line from F up to 30; 30 to 31 is 1⁄6 of size, whether the size is larger or smaller, the same is used from 31 to 32 and from 31 to 33. Cross the shoulder line from 32 to T and now measure the front shoulder. Before measuring the front shoulder, measure the back shoulder from L to M and place the same amount for the front shoulder from 32 to 34, from F to 37 is 1½ inches; now cross a line from 34 to 37 for the front armhole.
Measure the bust: from T to 8 is half of 43 bust, which amounts to 21½ inches; from 8 to 9 is 3 inches for seams. Now cross a line down from 9 to 38. 10 to 11 is 2¼ inches or if a standard front waist line is wanted, this space can remain 2 inches for all sizes, larger or smaller. Measure from 1 to 36, ¼ of an inch and from 3 to 24 is 1 inch; from E to 35 and 2 to 34 is 1 inch. Now cross lines from 3 to 34 and from 24 to 35. from 36 to 24 connect a line, which begins for the front side seam and cross a line for the long waistline in front from 24 against 11 to 40 and also the line in front edge from 9 to 14.
Now mark the dart in front as usual: divide across the chest from F to 9, which makes 15, measure the space from 9 to 15 and space the same from 12 to 39 on the straight waist line. Then cross a line from 15 down to 17 and 21 divide from 15 to 17, which makes 16: 16 is the beginning of the dart:from 17 to 18 is 1 inch: from 21 to 22 is 1 inch: from 17 to 19 is 3 inches. Now cross lines from 16 to 18 also to 19 and 20 and cross a line from 18 to 22 and square a line out from 18 to 20 down to 23. This space from 20 to 23, shall measure the same as from 18 to 22 and connect 23 to 35. Now curve the armhole as usual. This draft completes the outline of how to work different sizes.
