McDermott's new tapeline . und elbow. 5. Around hand. SKIRT. 1. From waist band to floor in front. 2. From waist band to floor over the full part of hip. 3. From waist band to floor in back. 4. Around hips six inches below waist. REMARKS ON MEASUREMENTS. Great care should be given to taking- measurements, especial-ly across the back from armseye to armseye, and across the chestfrom armseye to armseye. At first pupils are most certain to g-etthese two measures too long-, and consequently will have to trimout the armseye. But when properly taken you will never have achange to make. By having to trim out the armseye you shortenyour waist under the arm. A good idea is to experiment with adraft making- one chest 10 inches and one 12, with the same meas-ure from neck to underarm, and you will see at once the differencein the armseye. We must take \l/2 inches off of both the measures to top ofdarts and to waist in front, on account of taking- it from back neck. McDermotts New Tapeune Tailor System. a , 71 , 81 , 91 ~T. Waist.
