CYCLING SKIRT.
Diagram 316.
The popular style of Cycling Skirt is now made with a large inverted box-pleat.
The model here given is one of the most successful styles of these.
Draw lines 0, 20, 0, 40 at right angles.
0 to 20, half seat.
Square up to 22, ¼ seat.
0 to 40 front length, plus seams.
The size provided round the bottom is a matter of taste.
The quantities given are reliable amounts—thus, width of front, 12; side, 24; back 27, and pleat, 16.
Mark off 11 half way between 0, 22.
0, 4 and 18, 22 each 4 inches.
Draw seams as indicated.
Now hollow waist seam 3½ at 11.
Take out darts at seams, and one in centre of side gore, to reduce to waist measure.
Allow 1½ of round on back to provide room for saddle.
Arrange for centre of back to go on the crease edge, and so avoid a seam to go over the saddle.
The back is sometimes terminated 1 or 2 inches short of side.
If lined, glissade is the material used.
