LESSON 125.

HOW TO GRADE A CIRCLE SKIRT.

For this skirt we can follow the same instructions as the other skirt. This skirt has no gores whatever, and is not to be changed. Complete the original pattern for this skirt and mark out on a separate sheet of paper. Place the front from A to B against a straight line; from A to E is the hip line. Draw a line from E to O, which is the back part of the waist and increase from C to F; for the full amount of increase in this waist allow same down at the bottom from D to G and draw a straight line. Be careful to change the curve of the waist and begin about half-way from the waist; from A to F make a curve. This skirt should have seams allowed before grading. This completes the grading of the circle skirt.
