Lesson 118

HOW TO GRADE A BUTTERFLY SLEEVE BLOUSE.

To begin, cut out a one-piece butterfly sleeve blouse pattern and place on a separate sheet of paper and mark the line at the back from 1 to 2; this is from the neck down to the waist line, and shift in with 1/8 inch from 1 to A and 2 to B; from B to 3 and C to 4 allow 1/8 inch; from C to 5 and D to 6 allow 3/8 inch. Now allow at the front from J to 15 and from I to 14, 1/8 inch all the way down; in the front from I to 13, and from H to 12 is also 1/8 inch; from H to 11 and from G to 10 is 3/8 inch; from O to 10 and from F to 16, also from X to 6 and E to 7 is 1/8 inch; from F to 9 and from E to 8 we allow the same space as we increased from D to 6 and from G to 10, which is 3/8 inch parallel from 8 to 9. Be very careful when grading this pattern at the neck part that the neck is increased 2/8 inch, as shown from A to 1, and from J to 15. This completes the butterfly grading.
