LESSON 73.
CIRCLE SKIRT.
To begin this skirt we draw a line from A to E and from A to C; from A to C is 12 1/2 inches, or half of waist measurement; from C to D is 6 inches; measure from D to I 12 1/2 inches one-half of waist. H is one-half of I and D; from H to J is 1 1/2 inches; now curve from I and J to D; cross a line down from I to B.; from I to B is the front length for the skirt, which is 41 inches; measure from I to G 6 inches, also from D measure down to X 6 inches; cross a line from J to X and F for the hip line; measure one-half of hip from G to F; now make a line from D to F down to L; from D to L is the back length, 45 inches; measure from J to K for hip length, 43 inches; make the bottom curve from B and K to L; the line from A to E is not used; the original front line is from I to B. The skirt has no dart in the waist whatever, and gives a proportional bottom width which shall not be changed. This completes the circle skirt.
