FIG. 18. JERSEY BLOUSE.
Draw line O-J and O-F. From O to D is one-fourth of breast. From O to 20 is three-fourths inch. From O to D take one-half the distance to get point B, and in the centre, between B and D, is point C. From 20 to E is length of back and to F the full length.
Fig. 18.
Go in from E 1½ inch and draw the back-line from 20 to 1½ and to F. From O is 2 inches for top of back to 2. From D is one-third of breast and 1 inch to G. Draw a line up from G to 6. From 6 draw one to 2 and curve 1 inch above it at 1.
Curve arm-hole from 1 through 9 to 10. From G to H is one-fourth of breast—4½ inches on a 36 breast. Draw a line up. From back, near D, to K is one-half of breast. Draw line up and down. From J back to I is one-sixth of breast, and the same down to 3.
From I to 6 draw a line. Curve above line at 18 one-half inch for front shoulder, and curve the arm-hole from 18 to 17, and H to 10. Point 10 is about 1½ inch from G.
Make the width of back 5½ inches from 1½ and 9½ inches to point 10, and 10 inches at bottom. Then curve the side-seam at 10 to 5½ and U. From N, at front of the waist, go in 3 inches, to 16 4½ inches, and to 4 6 inches.
Draw a straight line up and down through 16, and form the dart, from 20, through 3 and 4, to 5 and 6.
Lay the back on the front to meet at 10, 5½ on V, 8 on U, to get the right curve for the side seam.
Measure the waist and make the distance at V to correspond with it. Using I as pivot sweep from 8 for the bottom of the front.
Add one-half inch button-stand, and 1 inch on the side the buttons are sewed on. Buttons should be 1 inch apart.
The Jersey is finished with standing collar.
This pattern is intended only for goods which are elastic—like stockinet or tweed.
The seams in the dart and at side should be stretched somewhat in pressing, thus allowing them to fit closer to the form.
