Extend the darts down to bottom of front, giving^ach seam a slight curve,as shown in the diagram to give it shape. .Now last apply the hip measure tosee if the size is correct : should the draft be too small add on at E more round,and on side bodv at F also. Plate 39. Never spring point E on side-body niich, as ladies garments do not hearit at that point.
