WOMAN'S PANTALOON PAJAMAS, BACK PART—Size 36


Lesson No. 416


To continue with the back part note diagram of the back. First complete the front part and then continue the back as follows: Raise the center line up from L to K and measure there 3 inches. Measure from L to A, ¼ of waist measurement amounting to 6¼ inches and from A to P allow 3 inches for seams and gathers for the back part. Then connect a line from P to K. Connect a line from K to J for the back crutch part and continue with a curve from J towards I to H and M. The space from I to H is 1/12 of hip measurement and from H to M is 1 inch allowed for seams. Note that H and M is ½ inch lower from the hip line. Then add from 1 to Y and 3 to F 1½ inches and the same amount of 1½ inches should be allowed from 4 to E and 2 to C. From B to U at the hip line allow 3 inches. Then curve, as shown on the diagram, the inside seam of the back part from M towards Y to F and the outside seam of the back part connect from P to U towards C to E. Then connect with a straight line at the bottom E to F which will complete the back part with fullness around the waist.

If fitted pantaloon pajamas are wanted around the waist take out the dart by dividing equally from P to K making O at the back waist line. Draw a line down from O to T 4 inches and take out 1 inch from both sides of O to V and W lost to T, as shown on the diagram. This will complete the back part of the pantaloon pajamas with all necessary seams allowed.
