DRAFT OF FITTED BODICE
(Special Measurement Method)
| I.An image should appear at this position in the text. | I. CENTER FRONT LENGTH | ||
| A to B | From back to waist-line. This measurement is taken along center front from the base of the neck to the waist-line. | ||
| Draw line from A to B for center front line. | |||
| II.An image should appear at this position in the text. | II. ACROSS CHEST | ||
| A to C | About 1/5 of line A and B, | ||
| C to D | Equals half of width across cheet. | ||
| Square a line across C to D; then extend line about 3″. | |||
| II.An image should appear at this position in the text. | III. FRONT SHOULDER HEIGHT | ||
| B to E | Equals length from waist to shoulder, at neck. | ||
| Tape is parallel to center front line. | |||
| IV.An image should appear at this position in the text. | IV. FRONT BODY WIDTH | ||
| E to F | Square a line across | ||
| This line equals half of front at shoulder seam. | |||
| F to G | Square a line down from F to line C-D | ||
| V.An image should appear at this position in the text. | V. FRONT SHOULDER SLOPE | ||
| B to H | Equals length from center front waist to shoulder at armhole. | ||
| Mark point H somewhere on line F-G for shoulder slope. | |||
| VI.An image should appear at this position in the text. | VI. FRONT SHOULDER SEAM | ||
| H to I | Draw a line from H to I locating I somewhere on line E-F. | ||
| A to I | For front neckline, draw a curved line from A to I, passing 1/2" from crossing of guide lines as illustrated. | ||
| VII.An image should appear at this position in the text. | VII. FULL FRONT WIDTH | ||
| B to J | Square a line across at B. | ||
| This line equals half of front, measuring across bust to side seam, at armhole. | |||
| J to K | Square a line up from J to line C-D. | ||
| VIII.An image should appear at this position in the text. | VIII. SIDE WAIST DEPTH | ||
| A to L | Equals length from center front at neck to side at waist. | ||
| Mark point L somewhere on line J-K. | |||
| VIII.An image should appear at this position in the text. | IX. SIDE SEAM LENGTH | ||
| L to M | Draw side seam line. | ||
| M to N | Square a line across from M to center front. | ||
| O to D | Square a line up to D. | ||
| Continue to the top. | |||
| O to P | 7/8". | Draw a diagonal line. | |
| H to M | Draw the armhole from H to D to P to M. | ||
| X. FRONT WAISTLINE | |||
| R to Q | First locate Q at crossing of diagonal lines N to L, and D to B; then square a line across from R to Q. | ||
| B to S | Equals R to Q less 1/2". | ||
| S to T | Equals reductions at front waistline. | ||
| Make dart by drawing equal length fines from Q to S and Q to T; then connect from T to L. | |||
| If measurement across fullest part of bust, is greater than line N to M, cut out dart and slash from Q to U (2" from P). Spread
needed amount at Q, pivoting at U. (This also helps to reduce armhole slightly). | |||
