. The "keystone" systems, coats, vests and trousers;. the fold of thematerial. Diagram 37. A back which has been drafted with a shaped center-back-seam may be changed to awhole back by laying the pattern as first drafted over another piece of paper touching astraight line at the top and at the waist as from A to D. The back below the waist lineis shown in dotted lines. Mark all around above the waist line. Pivot the pattern as at the circled disk midway between D and T and swing the partbelow until the center-of-back touches the straight line as from D to 3, then mark below Tand across the bottom. This gives 3 and 4. T will then be at 2 and D at i. The material must be stretched on the side seam on the waist line and shrunk at the backcenter opposite, to run with the lines of the original pattern as shown below the waist indotted lines.
