DIAGRAM 25.—Use the regular block pattern of the size needed; lay it
down on a sheet of paper, and mark along the shoulder, top of the back
and back-seam, and extend the length as far down as required, as to F.
Then place the sidebody against the back, touching at points O and B, in
the same closing position to the back as when drafted.
Follow the pattern along the side-seam, C to D, passing E and continuing
to K.
DIAGRAM 26.—The front is produced by the block pattern, and marked along
the edges, armhole, shoulder, neck and front.
One to one-and-a-half inch below the waist line lay the sidebody against
the front, touching at point A in such a position that its upper part
will be 1 inch away from the front at the armhole.
In this position it overlaps at the bottom, B.
Now shape from C to D, and regulate the length to D by the length of the
back.
Sweep the curve at bottom from the shoulder point, flattening it toward
the front.
For a single-breasted front add to the front edge 1 inch; for a fly
front 1½ inch, and for a double-breasted front 2½ to 3 inches. Form the
lapel to any desired shape.
The cut under the arm reaches only to A.
