Then 9 is H of the space of 1 and5 and the trace line, which is preparing the backseam, is J2 space between 5 and 9. From 2 to 10 is 3^9 inch and connect with acurve line up to 9 to meet 2 spaces up from thebottom at 11, as shown on the diagram. Thetrace line at the bottom, which prepares the backseam at the bottom is ^4 of space between 6 and10, which makes 12. The curve of the waist lineat the back is rounded up a way from 7 to 9; fol-low the upper curve above 7 and 9 accordingly,which makes the opposite diagram of the frontsketch.

The foundation is drawn the same way. Thewaist is equally divided in the center as the frontview of skirt as shown on the diagram. X is thecenter of 1 and 3, and from X to 7 and 8 is equally<iivided. At 4 there is .^ a of an inch space in andconnect it up to 8. In order to draw the right hand side line take]/2 from 1 and 2, which makes 9 and draw a linefrom 7 to 9 down to 6 as shown on the diagram,and then make a trace line which will show theback seam from X at the waist line 4 of an inchin lost with a curve to 2 down to 6 following theeffect of the line from
