TIGHT-FITTING ETON JACKET. For one-piece Eton back, from 12 to D is 5-< inch, fromD to E is 3^ waist, from E to ig is the balance of the backwaist surplus from 20 to D. G is the center of E and 19. Transfer the distance from19 to G to the bust line from 17 to establish H. Draw gxiidelines from H to E and H to 19, from 14 to D, and short waistline from 8 to E. The front part is the same as in Diagrams II. and III. After the dart is cut out, notch the waist line, N and O;lay the dart together, notch N to notch O, and draw the linefrom 19 to the desiretl style length, V, which establishes Wand Z.
