The science and geometry of dress . cated in Diagram by Side-Form-B. N. B.—^The Gore at the Side, and the Curve at the bottom ofSkirt, is obtained in the usual manner. xjixaisiEiozu o Ladys Basque. With Vest-Front.[Sbx Diagkam 31.] The Front of this garment is drafted in the same manner andby the same rules as for Basque (see Diagram 25), with the fol-lowing exceptions; viz., the Curve at the Center of Front, theSide-Form line shaping the Vest-Front, and the Pointed-skirt,terminating 12 inches below the Waist, (sloping downward from thebottom of the first Dart). How to Shape the Test-Front. EuLE 53.—Measure down the Shoulder-line 3^ inches from thefigure 12, Upper-Neck, and make a dot; then place the A-pointof the Skirt-Rule on the 3J inch dot, with the lower part of theSkirt-Eule resting on the Waist-line, (at the center of the firstDart;) then draw a line from the Shoulder to the Waist-line (as indi-cated in Diagram by the dotted line).

Place the A-point of the Skirt-Rule at the terminus of the firstDart on the Waist-curve, at the same time having the Straight-edgeof the Rule parallel with the edge of Goods; then dot at figure 1for Slope of Gore and draw a line for Length of Skirt, in theusual manner, to the 12-inch dot, as shown by Diagram. Explanation.—This line for Length of Skirt is a continuation ofthe Side-Form line, and, when the Darts are taken up, forms theVest-Front. After the Skirt is drafted, the lower part, next theFront, is re-shaped by drawing a line 7 inches below the AVaist, andshaping it upward to figure 4, as indicated by the dotted line. N. B.—The Curve at Front should be made by marking on theunder-edge of Dart-Rule, leaving a space of half-an-inch at theNeck and Waist-line, and then continuing it downward to the bot-tom of the Sk
