In this case, as on the back, the first thing we do is to draw a straight
line from O to 10. Now lay the side-body against it, at O, and swing it
away from the line at the waist 1¼ inch. Trace along the pattern from O
to 1¼. Then move the pattern one-fourth inch away from the last line,
which would leave from 1 to 3 just one-fourth inch for the seam. From 5
to 6 go in one-half the distance allowed over and above the allowance on
the back, as from 6 to 7. Now curve the side-body from 2 to 5, keeping
as nearly as possible the same shape as the original. Then from 5 draw a
line down parallel with the first line which runs from O to 10. Now apply
the back from 2 to 9 and regulate the length, which is point 9; then from
5 curve one-half inch outside of straight line at 8 to 9. At 9, square
across to 10, and also draw a straight line from 1¼ to 10, and begin to
curve from 3, past 7, to 10. This curve should be more round near hip,
or begin to curve closer to the waist. The curves on the back and on the
side seam, from 5 to 8, may be gradual, as it thus has the appearance of
being longer waisted than it actually is.
