LESSON 89.
MISSES' SIXTEEN SIZE HALF-FITTING JACKET.
To begin this garment we shall use all measurements as usual for any other size 16. Begin same foundations from A to B. 6 1/2 inches depth; from A to C, 15 inches, and from C to D one-third of size, which is 34 inches chest, or 5 3/4 inches. Draw all lines as usual from A, B, C and D; measure from B to G and from A to C two-thirds of size, or 11 3/8 inches, and draw a line up and down from A to G; divide from B to G, which makes H, and from H to I is 1 1/4 inches, as usual. All others are followed the same way as the first tight-fitting. This size garment and the effect of it together is built the same way as size 36 of the same style. The space from V to 3 and 2 to 4 is 1 inch, or the same way as on size 36. The space between G and 5, A and 7, is 3/4 inch; between 8 and 9 is 3/4 inch. The dart for the front is also built the same way as on 36. Divide the chest part from 1 to F, which makes X, and take the same space from Z to 38. Draw straight lines down from X to 23 down to 11; from Y to Z is 3/4 inch, as on 36. The dart which is on both sides of 15 is from 15 to 16, 1/2 inch, and from 15 to 17 is 1 1/2 inches. From 11 to 18 is 3/4 inch. Draw a square line from 16 to 27, and a straight line down from 21 to 31, and finish with curves as shown on the diagram, or the same as the 36 size.
