The Practical Designer for Women's and Misses' Underwear/Woman's Night Gown with Yoke
WOMAN'S NIGHT-GOWN WITH YOKE—SIZE 36
Lesson No. 409
In order to make the night-gown with a yoke make the complete draft of the one-piece night-gown and act as follows: Draw a line across 1½ inches above the breast line as shown at 2 at the center back. Then draw a line across from the armhole out from 2 to 37 and allow 2 inches parallel all the way down to 38 which will increase the fullness for the back.
Now cut the line across the same way 1 inch above the breast line at the front and extend from 21 to 39, 3 inches for fullness at the front. Now extend 1 inch for button-stand at the front part which is from 18 to 41 down to 42. Remember we are to allow special seams of 3/8 of an inch at the split of the yoke between the upper and lower parts of the front and back. Note that the allowance which is made for fullness at the front and back is to be gathered in and then followed together with the upper or yoke part.
Should a low neck be wanted at the neck for this or the one-piece night-gown follow the curves which are shown according to the dotted lines at the back part which is shown at 9 towards the center back and at the front from 15 towards 42, which may be changed to any opening wanted, from time to time.
