THE PRACTICAL SKETCHER


LESSON NO. 41

JUNIORS' FRONT MODEL COMPLETE

The complete juniors' model, which can be used for either dress, suit or coat continue as follows: Divide the space on the top line from X to 0, which makes 16 and draw a line up. From X to 15 take ¼ of the space between X and 1. Draw a line up and curve the neck somewhat narrower on top. Make from 16 to 18 for the left shoulder and from 15 to 17 for the right shoulder, 17 is half of box space and curve a trifle forward all the way down to the sleeve, from 17 down to the hip line, which is 4. Continue curving 17 to 12 a trifle in at the waist and continue down to 13 for the entire length of the garment. The length for juniors’ garments is shorter than the total height.

Continue the armhole for the left side from 18 down to the hip and for the length of the sleeve a trifle curvy. Then make side curve and begin about half way between breast and waist lines curving in at 11 to the waist line to show a distinction of waist and curve down to 14 for the full side length. Increase the curve at hip line, which is 4 and draw the line straight down to 14, which is the bottom. Curve the outside length of sleeve from the shoulder tip of 18, curving somewhat round and full till reaching the ending part of the sleeve which rests on the hip line at 4. The heavy line in front of neck at X indicates the center of neck. Continue somewhat curving all the way down straight to the waist and down to the bottom. Note necessary curves at neck and waist. Curve from 15 to 16 downwards and at the waist from 11 to 12 downwards towards the bottom to show the effect of the front action, which is to be always a deep curve.
