THE PRACTICAL DESIGNER

ETON WITH DART IN FRONT.

LESSON NO. 5.

This draft is made the same way as the first Eton, the front of this Eton is changed for the dart in front, therefore allow from V to X ¾ of an inch, from V to Y is the same as the first draft 2½ inches, now draw a line from R to X down to 14. In order to get the dart in front, we divide the chest F to R which makes S, now measure the space from R to S and take the same from 14 to Z, from Z to S makes the dart line, and divide this line which makes 1 for the height of the dart. From Z to 2 is 1 inch, from Z to 3 is 2 inches. Now draw lines from 1 to 3 and Z to 2 now measure from 1 to 2 and make the same from 1 to 15, now curve from 1 to 2 and 1 to 15, also from 9 to 15 and from 2 to Y up to 14 as shown on diagram.

Now curve carefully the front from W to R, X and 14, from 2 to 14 curve up as shown on diagram, this front has no button stand. This completes the Eton coat with dart in front.

The dart of this front can be raised higher to suit the former model. Such change may be made from the original height of dart raised up 1 to 1½ inches and curve lost to the bottom of waist as shown on the diagram. The length rf waist in back can also be used full as shown on Lesson No. 3.
