A COMPLETE COURSE IN DRESSMAKING


Use the front and back patterns to make the collar as described in making the collars for the Straight Hanging Dress.


Fig. (92) Diagram for short sleeve pattern

Use your shirtwaist sleeve pattern for the sleeve diagram as shown in Fig. 92. Mark where you want the lower edge of the sleeve to come as line AB, also where you want the bottom of the circular cuff to come, as line CD.

Place a piece of paper under the diagram and trace the outline of the cuff. Divide the cuff into equal parts, cut it apart and spread it at the bottom to add fullness, as shown in Fig. 93. Add seams at all edges in cutting out the cuff pattern. Also in cutting out the sleeve pattern, allow seams.

With such a waist, you can use either a straight gathered skirt or a two-piece skirt
