The lapel at front is similar to that of a frock, or cut like the example illus-trated farther back in the book. The shape of the top of the skirt in front must of course harmonize with that ofthe lower edge of the fore-part. When the front of the fore-part is cut to a point the skirt must also follow andbe cut lower. When cut straight across it follows also. While it may be straight in front to the edge of the lapel, yet it can be cut sothat the skirt will only come together at 9, while the lapel laps over the front. Any other shape, as cutaway, can be made in a similar manner as on sackjackets. THE KEYSTONE SYSTEM FOR LADIES GARMENTS. 19. DIAGRAM 7. 20 THE KEYSTONE SYSTEM FOR LADIES GARMENTS.

We take the back, S, and pin it down. Add on the back, at bottom-shoulder,top and side-seam ^ inch for seams, as shown by the shaded portion. Nothing is added to the arm-hole parts. Then it is cut out on the outer edge. The side-body marked R is also pinned down, and on both seams ^ inchis added. Add a turn-in at bottom of the same amount, and then cut out on theoutside lines. The one marked P has the same added on each side and at bottom. The front is cut to reach only to the centre of breast, and when pinned downhas the seams added on the side-seam, at the bottom, and on each side of the dartsin front as shown. On
