LESSON NO. 22
THIRD COMPLETE FOUNDATION
FOR A DRESS
In further progressing with the dress foundation it is now necessary for us to make preparations for curving and, as a rule, we first begin with the neck.
Therefore, draw a line up at X and 7 for about ¼ of the foundation space, which means if this foundation space is 1 inch, it must be ¼ of an inch and then curve the collar slant especially on the left hand side towards 7. Then curve the shoulder from 7 to X towards the neck down to the bust curve. The bust curve, you will note, is crossing the line, which is drawn from 8 to 9 about ½ space between breast and waist line. 10 is ½ space between 9 and the center line and continue with a straight line from 1 to 11. 11 is ½ of the box from the right hand outside to the center.
Now curve from the bottom of neck, from 7 to X and also the upper part of the neck to show the hollow of neck, as shown on the diagram. See the next diagram and description for the entire completeness of the dress foundation.
