Let us now turn to figure 9, for a further illustration of the manner of draft-ing. From B to H on line under arm place the length of blade measure, or asmostly called by name of front of arm; this measure is 10^. From B also forwardis placed the width of back to J. In the centre between the points J and H markI and draw perpendicular lines up at the three points. Then from I upwardsto R place one-quarter of the arm-hole measure (16) which is 4 inches, and fromR to 2 on top of back draw a straight The next step we will take, is to draw the back; first by ciirving the shoul-der line above straight lint: i inch, near arm-hole, and curving back to line againnear 2, and also from U form arm-hole towards S where it runs over the straightline, thence curving downwards and below |. J, inch to H : we draw this lineinside at S because b)- measuring trom 7 we hjul die measure to leacl, less thanto the line, generally 4 inch. We make the back ;il bottom li lo 2 mches wide,and draw the side seam troiri thence to S- As style has greall\ to do wiiii the shape of the back, wc c;\:i here giveonly an average shape as an exanicle. Tlu> seam however is changeable toany position, without adectiiig the tit of the waist in the least. From 6 at blade tbrin sidchudy to withiji \ inch of back 2, which gives C:now place the front measure from P up towards Q, deducting from it the widthof back, and make a short sweep at Q. From line at F measure over to sweepat Q one-eight
