12 LESSON NO. 3



To continue, we are now to prepare the neck and shoulder space and therefore we first begin the neck part. Take the equal space between 8 and 1 and 7 and 3 and make the curve of the neck from 7 to 8 as shown on the diagram. Then extend bias lines from 7 and 8 up towards 9 and 10. The line should be a trifle bias to the inner part of the neck and then make a curve at the top which is from 9 to 10 and a lower curve for the top part of neck at 12 to follow the effect of the bottom curve from 7 to 11 to 8.

Now make connections for the shoulder from 8 to 2 and 7 to 4 and curve them as shown. Continue from 4 to 6 for the bust curve, from 5 to 6 is about ⅛ of an inch which is a one quarter part of a one half space or of a ½ inch.

The other shoulder to the left side which is at 2 and 0, you will note, give a sleeve or an armhole curve and the space between 2 and is about ⅛ of an inch and the space between 2 and the outside curve is a double amount and this curve has to be partly studied to show the proper or natural detail of the sketch.
