This diagram is also given for illustration only. It represents the
centers of the front and back on straight lines, the neck-hole on the
back and front, even, and the reduction of the shoulders at 45 deg., as
it actually is to be reduced. The side of the neck represents Dia. IV as
cut out 4¾, and would require a standing collar of ¾ to be sewed on. In
this position a neck-band could not be cut on the forepart as shown in
Dia. IV, because the shoulder seam would be too far in front. Though it
is useless for actual cutting, it is worth its place in this work for
illustration. It fully demonstrates that the so-called front shoulder
point is a myth.
