THE PRACTICAL SKETCHER
7


The jacket, coat, and cape foundations are to be built on a complete foundation whereby we recognize the lengths and full effects of the body and the lengths therefore for these garments are distinctly showing the various spaces of the entire body.

For the different sizes of juniors', children's and infants' garments the system of body sketching can also be distinct so as to be able to tell the different growths in inches which enables us to obtain the correct body sketch for every garment.

It shall be understood that the outlines for sketching for each and every model for women' misses', juniors', children's, and infants, size shall be built according to its proportional height so that we are able to obtain the correct division of each model size and it will be necessary for us to remember that we have to post ourselves to the height of each model size. The height shall therefore be remembered for each and every model size which are as follows:

Women's size 36 proportional height is 5 ft. 6 in.
Misses' size 16 " " " 5 ft. 4 in.
Juniors' size 15 " " " 5 ft. 1 in.
Childs' size 10 " " " 4 ft. 8 in.
Infants' size 4 " " " 3 ft. 8 in.
