 BD line and mark L. Measure one and three-quarter inches from point B on AB line and mark J. Draw connecting line at right angles to line AB from point J to point K. Then blend a line from point J to point L.

For the armhole box, measure two and five-eighths inches from point J on line AB and mark G. Draw a line at right angles to line AB, measuring four inches from the starting point G and mark F. Measure four inches from point A on the AC line and mark E. Draw a line at right angles to the AC line from point E to point F. (See Fig. 12.)

For shoulder line, measure three-quarters of an inch from point G on the GF line and mark point H. From point H extend a line at right angles to line GF. Draw a line measuring three inches from point J to touch line H. For the shape of the armhole, measure one and a half inches from point F on the GF line and mark I. Measure seven and one-half inches from the point E on the EF line and mark M. Curve a line from the point of the shoulder line to I and continue curve to point M. Measure on the front diagram, Fig. 11 from point N to point M and apply this measure at the underarm of the back to locate point N, as these two edges must be sewn together. (See Fig. 12.)
