Report of Missouri Farmers' Week. 217 



Draw a lin,e from the end of this slightly curved line parallel to the 

 waist line to the center back. Modify the sharp angle formed at 

 the waist line by drawing a slightly curved line from a point one- 

 half inch above the waist line to a point one-fourth inch below. 



Directions for Drafting the Front of the Waist. — Lines E, D 

 and F are extended across the paper from the back. 



To Form the Neck Curve. — Measure on the edge of the paper 

 from line E one-third of one-half of the neck size plus five-eighths 

 inch. This locates point (a) . Measure on line E from the edge of 

 the paper one-third of one-half of the neck size plus three-eighths 

 inch. This locates point (b). Connect these two points with a 

 curved line. 



To Form the Shoulder Line. — Follow directions given in draft- 

 ing this line in the back. 



To Draft the Arm Curve. — Two inches down from point (a) 

 draw a line C parallel to E, extending only a third of the distance 

 across the paper. On this line measure one-half of the chest meas- 

 urement. Subtract the second width of the back from one-half of 

 the bust measurement and measure the remainder on the bust 

 line, marking this point (s). Raise this point one inch, for the 

 same reason that a similar point was raised in drafting the back. 

 Call the new point (t). Drop a perpendicular line from the end 

 of the shoulder line to the bust line and mark the intersection (w). 

 Half way between (s) and (w) erect a perpendicular line one-half 

 inch high. Draw a curved line starting from the end of the 

 shoulder line, touching the point on line C, the top of the half-inch 

 perpendicular line, and the point (t). 



To Draft the Lower Part of the Front. — Drop a perpendicular 

 line from point (t) and on this measure the length of the underarm 

 seam. Mark this point (v). Measure from point (v) two inches 

 out. This locates point (x). Connect points (x) and (t). Correct 

 the underarm seam, naming this new point (z) . 



Measure from point (a) the length of the front on the edge 

 of the paper and connect this point with point (z) to form the 

 waist line. Finish the bottom of the front as directed for the back. 



To Allow for Seams. — One inch over the shoulder, one and one- 

 half inches for the underarm seam and one-fourth inch for the 

 neck and sleeves. 



For the Sleeve. — Any sleeve pattern that fits the individual 

 may be used.
