You will observe that the back shoulder is % inch longerthan the front, therefore the back must be eased in to the front. 6. Now take your tapeline and test your bust, waist and hipsbefore seaming up, to see that no mistake has been made in thedrafting. If not more than an inch too large or small, the correc-tion can be made in the underarm seams. But if more than that,it may be necessary to change the next seam a little. But neverchange the rounding seam. 32 McDermotts New Tapeune Tailor Plate No. 18. HB 8W- McDermotts New Tapeune Tailor System. 33 Princess Front. (See Plate No. 18.) This front is drafted the same as a common basque, with the•exception that we only put 1 inch in each dart, and that the skirtruns clear down. To get the proper spring* for the skirt we godown 5 inches and out 2, and lay the letter B of the rule curve onthe waist line, the outer edge striking the 2 inch dot and drawingclear to the bottom. The spring to the underarm gore is gottenfor B IviNE with the point of rule on waist line and striking 1 inchdot 5 inches down and on to bottom. D IyiNE is given 1% spring 5 inches down, and rule laid as forfront. (See dotted lines.) The space between the front and goremay be run down as a dart if a plain skirt is wanted. 34 McDermotts New Tapkune Tailor System. Princess Back.
