Rh LESSON NO. 4.



This lesson will finish the entire front sketch for the blouse or waist and therefore continue to curve from 6 to 7, down to 8. 7 is about ½ space between the line at 6 to the bottom line, which is 8. 8 is about ¼ space of an inch, or ½ space between the line 0 and the center line.

You will note that 9 is ½ space of the other side and between 9 and 10 is about ⅛ of an inch allowance, which makes then the proper belt effect from 10 to 8 and curve them to the parallel space about ¼ of an inch for belt effect, as shown on the diagram, from 8 to 12, and 10 to 11.

Now continue making the sleeve curve, from 3 down to 4, and from 2 curve out a trifle roundness down to 5, and make a hollow circular curve, from 4 to 5, which finishes the bottom length of sleeve and the length for same is guided by the full waist length. The part sleeve which is shown at the right-hand side is only continued from 7 to 0, to show that the sleeve is hidden by the bust and this completes the lesson of sketching the blouse or shirt waist.
