FRONT BACK AND SIDE FORMS
37 lines✦
IG.3 trace and cut the lining. This requires a tracing wheel.You can trace the front just as it is drafted, but each pieceof the back must be traced separately if you desire a seamedlining. You will need about two yards of lining for a waist.Use the lining crossways of the material and it will notstretch out. A very safe way is to fold the lining throughthe middle, so that the ends will come together, pinning itsecurely, so that when tracing it will not slip, and bothfronts will be traced exactly alike. This is very essential,for if the fronts are not just alike, the waist is apt to twist. Lay the front draft on the lining with Line 1 about 114.inches from the ends of the lining. Pin the draft to thelining in several places. Trace the waist line or Line 8 first.Then trace Lines 1 and 5, beginning at the waist line andtracing up; also trace the dart lines in the same manner,tracing Line 9 first, then Lines 10, 11 and 12 from thewaist line up. Now trace the neck curve, beginning at dotN and trace to dot M; also trace the arm hole, beginning atLine 5 and tracing up to dot S; then trace Line 3 from dotS to dot M. This finishes the front tracing. Take the draft off and cut out the lining. Leave the114, inches on the front line or Line 1 for hems. Allow 3of an inch for seams on Lines 5 and 3. Cut the arm holeand neck curves in the tracing. Now place the back draft on the double lining, beingvery careful to have the waist line, or Line 16, on a straightthread of goods. Trace the waist line first, then Lines 21and 23, always beginning at the waist line and trace up.Next trace the neck curve from dot K to dot O, then thearmhole from dot N to dot P. Then trace Line 18. TraceLines 27 and 28, about 2 inches below the waist line,beginning at Line 16 and tracing down. Remove the draft and cut out the center back. First,cut Line 21, allowing three-fourths of an inch for a seam.Next cut Line 23 and allow one-half inch for a seam; then 42
