 line AB and mark V and you have marked the points on the back. Measure five inches from F on the center line FE and mark M.

To determine the depth of the low neck at the back measure three inches upward from point E on the AC line and mark Q. For the depth at the front measure seven inches downward on the AC line from point E and mark O. For the width of the neck measure three inches across from O on a line drawn at right angles to the AC line and mark the end N. Draw a similar line measuring three inches across from Q and at right angles to line AC and mark the end P. Then draw a connecting line from N to P. (See dotted lines in Fig. 41.)

Using the curved ruler draw in curves from point M to I, and from I curving in and out to H and rounding a curve from H to G following the dotted lines as shown in box in Fig. 41. This gives the curved front of the apron. To exactly duplicate the curves in the back put a piece of paper under the diagram and trace the outer edge with the tracing wheel.
