The measures we shall use are the following: Breast, 36; waist, 24; length of natural waist, 15; height under arm, 7; front of arm, 10½; width of back, 6½; front length, 18½.
In drafting this we drop proportion altogether and use only the measures as stated above to get all points on the draft. All the lines and curves will come out in similar manner to the previous draft. Fig. 4 starts by drawing a line O-F and O-N; go down from O three-fourths of an inch, and in from O, to A, two inches, and curve from ¾ to A.
From ¾ down, measure the length of back 15 inches to F, and at F draw a line over to the front and go in 1½ inches and mark a point.
From ¾ to this last point draw a straight line for the centre of the back.
Up from F measure the height under arm 7 inches to E, and from E draw a line to the front.
From Z to D is one-half of the breast-measure, and draw the front line up and down. Also measure from Z to S, the actual width of the back, and from Z to H, the front of the arm, 10½ inches, or the blade measure which is taken from the front of the arm over the blade to the centre of the back. At S and H draw lines up.
In the middle between O and E mark point B, and in the middle between B and E point C, and draw the lines across as shown. ([See Fig. 4.])
From where the lines cross at J, draw one across to top of back at A, and curve from A to G which point is one-half inch above J.
Beginning at G curve arm-hole past J, a trifle inside of line between J and R, and from thence to V. This last is midway between S and H.
