The Practical Designer for Women's and Misses' Underwear/Woman's Drawers, Front Part
WOMAN'S DRAWERS, FRONT PART—SIZE 36
Lesson No. 413
In order to begin the front part for woman's drawers use measurements specially designed for this purpose, which are as follows:
| Waist | 25 inches |
| Hip | 43 inches |
| Rise | 18 inches |
| Outside Length | 26 inches |
To begin to draft watch diagram on the opposite page. Draw a line from 1 to 4 and 1 to 3. Measure from 1 to 2, 18 inches rise. According to medium height the rise measurement is 12 inches. For drawers add 6 inches additional for a comfortable rise, making it 18 inches. Then measure from 1 to 3, 26 inches outside length which is taken at the side of the hip from the waist to the knee. Now draw a line across from 2 to 8 and 3 to 15. Measure from 2 to 7, half of 43 inches hip amounting to 10¾ inches and from 7 to 8 measure 1-6 of hip measurement amounting to 3⅝ inches.
To continue square a line up from 7 to 4 and measure from 4 to 10, ¼ of 25 inches hip measurement amounting to 6¼ inches and from 10 to 11 allow 2 inches. From 11 to 12 raise up ¾ of an inch and connect a line from 12 to 4. Now measure the space from 7 to 8 and place the same amount from 7 to 9 and connect a line from 9 to 8. Curve from 9 to 8 with a ½-inch deepness, as shown on the diagram, which completes the crutch of the front part.
Now finish the inside seam of the front. Draw a straight line from 4 against 8 and draw a line down from 8 to 15 to the bottom line of the front, which will in this way complete the inside seam with all the fullness needed at the bottom. Now finish the outside seam and hip of the front. Measure from 2 to 13 at the hip line 2½ inches and make a curve with a curved ruler from the waist point from 12 against 13 and continue straight down to the bottom to 14, which will complete the front part. See the next lesson for the back part.
This is the front and back of the two-piece drawers. See separate lesson for the one piece circular drawers.
