Now, curve from ¾ to A, and from A to G, which last point is one-half inch above J. Commencing at G curve past J to R, going a trifle inside of straight line, then from R past X to V.
From R draw a straight line to 1½, and curve the back seam from R by going only a little inside of straight line at 19, thence to 2. Point 2 is 1½ inches from centre 1½. From 2 to 1 place 1 inch, then curve the side-body from 19 to 1.
Next, measure from the centre of the back at Z, on the line under the arm, to get the point D in front. This should be one-half of the breast-measure (18). Point D being placed, draw a line from there up and down to N and to U, at right angles with the line under the arm.
Fig. 3.
To form the neck we take one-sixth of the breast and place it from N to P, and, using N as a pivot, sweep from P to 15. One-quarter inch inside of front line at 15 we start to draw the curved front line to the bottom, by going outside of D one-half inch and coming back to straight line again, near U.
One and a half inches below the waist-line, at U, draw a line from T over to 12.
From P to B draw a straight line; then take the length of the back shoulder, from A to G, and place the same from P towards 17, and where this reaches is point 17.
Having located 17, curve from it above the line of shoulder at 21, and drop one-fourth inch below it at 20; and, also, from 20 draw the arm-hole past 18 to X; but do not quite touch A, and drop below V one-fourth inch.
