LESSON NO. 23
COMPLETE DRESS FOUNDATION
RIGHT HAND SIDE VIEW
Now to continue to complete the entire foundation by preparing the entire outline for the dress as follows: Draw the armhole and sleeve at the left hand side from 7 down to 9 with a medium curve to meet the straight effect from 7 to 8 and then draw a curve from 7 towards 10 to the outside elbow of the sleeve with a much fuller curve than the inside curve of the sleeve. See to it that the length of sleeve is rested on the hip line and to show there a hollow part or an opening of the cuff at 9 and 10.
Now make a curve from 8 to 11 which makes the left hand side seam, which is ⅜ of an inch in from 13. Then curve from 8 towards 11 down to 12 for the full continuation to 12, which meets the bottom of the dress. Note that 8 is about ⅛ of an inch up between ½ space of breast and waist line.
This sleeve foundation is showing the natural armhole in depth. Now continue in preparing the right hand side sleeve, which is hidden between bust effect the following way. 6, which is showing the full length of sleeve, is ½ space between the straight line and the edge line of the dress, right side, and continue to curve about one sixth of an inch in on the straight line at 3 so that the sleeve shows a trifle curve effect similar to the full sleeve shown on the left hand side and finish the full length of sleeve both alike.
