The general outlines willalways remain the same, and these general out-lines, as we shall now proceed to show, are ob-. tained by a series of measurements, exact,simple, and applicable to any garment and toany figure. These measurements might, indeed, for theperfect figure, be reduced to a single one,whence the others might be derived in accord-ance with the following rules : The size of thewrist is one half that of the neck; that of theneck is equal to the length of the front of thewaist, and is half the circumference of thewaist; the size of the waist is equal to the in-side length of the arm; the length of the armis equal to the breadth across the breast; two-thirds of the size of the waist equals the lengthand breadth of the back; one third of the sizeof the waist equals the height under the arm,etc. But in reality there exist very few figuresexactly conformed to these rules, and patternsprepared for the ideal figure seldom provesatisfactory till they have undergone very con-siderable modifications.
