LESSON 124.

HOW TO GRADE MISSES' SLEEVE.—SIZE 16 to 18.

The misses' sleeve is graded the same way as size 36. When beginning to grade mark out separately top of undersleeve and decrease from A to M 1/4 inch; from B to K is 1/8 inch, and from I to J is 3/16 inch, which is the lost part between 1/4 and 1/8; from G to O and F to P is 1/4 inch graded. Make a curve as shown on the broken lines from M, O, P lost at Q, if length is increased. Increase parallel space wanted from C to L and B to K; no increasing or decreasing is made for inside part of the sleeve from D and H to C. The undersleeve is graded the same way from R to Y 1/4 inch, the same from X to Z; from S to 3 is 3/16 inch; from T to 4 is 1/8 inch for increased length to parallel space of 5 and 4. Now change the curve at the underarm for the undersleeve from Z to W, as shown on the diagram.
