A still simpler pattern is shown inFig. 6. Drawers.—For making drawers, only twomeasurements are required: I, the length fromthe waist to the ankle, taken on the outside ofthe leg ; 2, the size of the waist. In drawing a pattern, (Fig. 4,) we begin witha vertical line, a b, on which is to be marked. Fig. <. the measure of the length, a c. We then drawthree lines horizontally, the first at the topfrom the point a; the second midway of theline a c; the third at the lower end, from thepoint c. These three lines serve as points of 550 UNDERGARMENTS departure in indicating the measure of thewaist, the breadth across the seat, and thesize of the leg near the ankle. One end of half the waist-measure is thenplaced at a, and marked at the right by thepoint c. The breadth of the seat is given byhalf the length from the waist to the ankle, thespace between a and d. If, for example, thislength be 30 in., half of it, 15 in., will indicatethe breadth necessary from dXof. The suita-ble breadth at the ankle will be decided by in-dividual preference. It is indicated upon thepattern by c, g. Most persons will prefer toshorten this pattern below the knee, but it isrequisite to take the measure in this mannerin order to ensure correct proporti
