The lines on all these diagrams should run nearly parallel with each other;thus, that from 6 to 4 on the side-body should be the same shape as that on theback from 2 to D ; that from 7 to i 7 like 6 to 4. From 8 to 16 like that from 7to 17. The one forward, 7 to i6, will run similar to 3 and 4. Also 8 to 18, like 7and 16 and so on. THE KEYSTONE SYSTEM FOR LADIES GARMENTS. 17.

The skirt which has been cut off is laid down on another sheet of paper, andthe second side-body is overlaid on the first at the bottom, as shown on lines D,about I inch. The front side-body lies also in the same way at C, leaving two Vs at top. The top edges must be even at the points. The piece between the darts will close at B, and the front piece at A.
