THE SIDE-BODY.—FIG. 13.

Lines D-F and O are extended over. From 2 to 10 is 1 inch in every case.

Draw from I, along the back, to 8, and from thence begin to separate from

the back and curve to 10 and down to 6, which is the point on the back

where line O and the line from 2 downwards cross. From 6 down give this

line a nice curve, not springing out too much nor making it too flat—a

medium is what is desired.

From B to K is one-fourth of the breast-measure.

Curve from I to H and K.

About 1 inch inside of K draw a line down to L, which should make the

side-body as wide from 8 to H as 10 to L.

At right angles with waist-line draw one down from 10 to 3, and another

from L to 4.

Now whatever the distance is from 3 to 5 should be placed from 4 to 6,

and then the seam from L is drawn past 11 to 6.

Make the length at bottom one-half inch longer at 5 to 6; also notice

that the distance from 7 to 11 may be a little more than that from 9 to

6, as more ease over the hip, at side, is desirable.
