THE PRACTICAL SKETCHER


LESSON NO. 26

COMPLETE DRESS FOUNDATION
RIGHT HAND BACK VIEW

This diagram is showing the back with the right hand view and the difference between this and the flat back view is as follows: Note first of all the center of this foundation which is the same as others. The center line is shown on the top line at 23 down to X at the waist line.

Then 22 is ½ of the box space between 2 and 23. The space between 22 and 23 is this time used as the neck space, which means that when the shoulder and sleeve is shown right hand view, the neck in such case, is placed in the left hand view and, therefore, at 6 we build the shoulder narrower ⅛ of an inch in from the straight line. The right hand shoulder is connected ½ space in of the shoulder line showing at 19.

This foundation is also similar to the back blouse right hand view shown on page 19, but it is differently built on account of a more fuller waist. The waist line from X to 13 is ⅓ of the box space towards the right hand and from 12 to 11 is one third of the box space, or the space between X and 11 is ⅔ of the entire space between X to 12. Continue to curve from 11 against 14 down to 15 for the fuller bottom, and from 13 to 16 continue a straight line to the bottom of 17. From 3 to 17 is one-third of the box space, which means if this box space is 1 inch, the space from 3 to 17 is snug ⅜ of an inch:
