On this diagram take the distance from the dart at 7 to 16, and divide
it into 3 parts, giving points 15 and 17.
From point 15 draw a straight line up to 14, parallel with that from J
to K.
From point 17 draw the line so that it will be nearly parallel with line
14 to 15.
But it may be desirable to obtain a sidebody narrow at the armhole; if
it is, place the line closer to the back.
At 12 nip a slight amount from the middle sidebody, but let the upper
point remain on the same level, so that one seam will not be shorter
than the other.
Curve the seam slightly below L by taking out no more than ¼ inch.
On the seam 14 to 15 we must take out ½ inch at 15—the amount we
subtracted from the total waist when regulating the darts.
Add to the front length from H to 10 1 inch, and shape bottom edge from
16, which is ½ below the waist line, to 17, on to 15 and forward to 10.
