 upper edge of the third piece. Trace around the outer edge of these pieces, re-slanting the upper edge as indicated by the dotted line in Fig. 57. When you remove the pieces you will have a pattern for a new front with fullness.

You can vary the amount of fullness added by spreading the pieces more or less. This gives a front with fullness added all the way through.

If you want to add fullness only at the top, spread the pieces at the top only. Fig. 58 will give you the idea. In tracing around the pieces, reslope the lower edge so it will not jog up in the front.

Fullness can be added through the lower part only by keeping the pieces together at the top and spreading the bottoms.

Fullness can be added to any garment if you follow this same plan.
