Draw the lines O B and O F. From O to 1 is ¾ inch. From 1 to B is the
waist length.
Up from B to A is the height under the arm. The widths are fixed as for
any waist. When the front edge is established, take the middle between G
and A1, which fixes W. Draw the dart line straight down from point P,
and make the width from S to T only ⅓ of what the darts demand.
Place ¼ waist from C to D, and make the distance from front line H to S
and T to V the same. Connect W with V by a straight line, and also W
with D. The front is either shaped like the diagram, or made pointed at
the bottom of the front.
These jackets are often made from 1 to 2 inches shorter than the natural
waist line, but when so made no dart is taken out, because they must be
loose around the bottom. No collar is required. If a revere is to be
added it is the same as for a jacket.
