DIAGRAM 34.—This style is drafted the same as a waist pattern with the
waist extended below the natural waist line from 1 to 2 inches, and
either shaped as shown or made more pointed in front.
The skirt is cut separate and reaches only to the second dart, the
front-seam of which is lengthened to agree with the width of the strap
of the skirt; the front being also lengthened as represented by the
broken lines.
This draft has three sidebodies, as it is desirable that the width
between the seams should be narrow in order to better define the form.
These sidebodies should each have about the same width at the waist
line.
For a single-breasted front, add for lap on the button-hole side no more
than ¾ inch, and about as much more for the button stand. If 3 or more
hooks and eyes are sewn to the center line inside it will relieve the
strain on the buttons.
It can be made to button up with a standing collar, or with a short roll
and turnover collar.
