Starting at ¾, measure down to C, the length of natural waist, and to D, the full parts of the hips; also to E the length wanted.
From C up to B place the height under the arm. Now at every one of these points draw lines across, all at right angles with the first line.
Go in from C to N 1½ inch, and then draw a line from ¾, at top, to N, and from the last point to E, and curve the back-line, as shown from ¾, past R.
From N to M make the width of back, at waist, 2 inches or more, as desired.
Starting at R, place the width of back to G and draw a line up to S.
In the middle, between O and B, fix point A, and from there draw a line over to J.
From the point where lines A-J and G-S cross draw a line to F.
Raise above J one-half inch to S and curve the shoulder from F to S; then from S go inside of line at J and curve the arm-hole of the back to I. This last point is midway between J and G.
From I draw a line to N, then commence at I and draw line for the side-seam to 8, going inside of straight line a trifle and thence with a decided curve to M.
