Rh Lesson 142

both sides of 3, which is on the waist line, take out 2 inches; at 5 and 6 divide the space between 3 and 4, which makes 7; now cross lines from 5 to 7 and 6 to 7, and connect the lines between 5 and 7 to 3 inches, making 8; the same way between 6 and 7, making 9. Curve the front from 8 and 11 and 12, which is the bottom part of this front; also curve the back part from 9 to 10; from X to 10 is 4 inches. Begin to curve at the back of neck from A and L over the shoulder to M, for the armhole from M to 2, and from 1 against G up to U. The front shoulder from U to O and from O to Y is the front of neck part; also shape the sides as shown on the diagram. This completes the shirt waist.

If a broader back is wanted, divide the armhole from I to F and take out the same amount, or see the Butterfly Blouse.
