To show the best way of drafting these, so that it may be clearly
understood, we shall go over every point in the most careful manner.
The measures to be used are:
The back length to the natural waist, 15.
Total length to the bottom, 32.
Front length to the side of hip, 19.
The blade, or front of arm, 10.
The height under the arm, 7½.
Breast, 36.
Waist, 25.
Hip, 46.
It may be the place just here to state that all jackets of sack shape
are drafted in a similar manner to this one, and that the length alters
in no way the location of the points or the run of the lines.
While this example is drafted with two darts, others are given where
only one is used, or none at all, and by following the instructions
given every modification can readily be adopted.
