227 LESSON 122.

HOW TO GRADE MISSES' HALF-FITTING GARMENT,

SIZE 16 TO 18. This garment begins the same way as the tight -fitting, the only difference in this garment being that we have to grade each part somewhat more, as the garment has only four parts to be graded. As we have one piece less, which is the underarm piece, the foundation lines are also the same as others and the depth is increased to the same amount as the tight-fitting garment; the increase from E to J, F to K and G to L is a full 1/8 inch. We also increase from O to W, P to Y and R to X. The space from N to V for the shoulder is graded the same way as the tight-fitting. From C to J, from D to K and from E to L; the space A and N down to F and Q should also be graded full 1/8 inch on the front part. Part four should be graded outside, which is left over and is 3/8 inch from V to A and W to B. The depths, which are at part four, are from R to Y and from S to Z, or between B should grade 1/4 inch for misses' size between 16 and 18. Great care should be taken to see if a sufficient amount is graded for the width between 16 to 18, as there is only 1 inch to be graded. This completes this grading.
