DIAGRAMS 50 AND 51.—On low-neck dress waists these sleeves are generally
made short. Some reach only a few inches below the armhole and some to
the elbow.
The manner of cutting is very simple.
Take a sleeve pattern and lay the upper against the lower part on the
back-seams, as shown on these diagrams, and draw along the top and on
the side.
Fix whatever length is wanted and cut across from W to X (Diagram 50),
curving somewhat above a straight line at Y.
Another style is to curve, as shown by Diagram 51, from B to C and A.
Yet another style is, curve from C up to the middle of sleeve at U, and
from U to A. This style is, however, made a little wider at U, so as to
allow these two points to overlap about 1 inch.
