Note that the diagram on the opposite page is fully prepared with foundation lines. Before beginning the same look well at the diagram and see the position of the foundation sketch used for this diagram. You will note this one is the left hand sketch, which means the bust is built towards the right. The foundation for this, you will find in lesson 5, in the front pages and in order to begin the style, it will be necessary to prepare the foundation and use same as prepared, then continue with the following outlines to make the stylish sketch. To begin, note, the first thing we do is to begin the collar curves for the direct breaking for the neck at 1 and 2 and then continue with the curving towards the shoulder from 1 to 3 and 2 to 0.

Note that the collar at the arm side is showing narrower considering the amount of the width of shoulder given at that place and that is because the shoulder at this place gives the full width, as it is the main shoulder line, otherwise, the collar at both sides is the same width and continue making curves for collar. The beginning of the opening which is placed at 10 which is half way between the space of 3 and 4 and a trifle in from the center line towards 10. This is done because there is a button stand allowed and as the lapping is done towards the arm side. Note the front buttons down bias towards 12, which is placed between the breast line and waist line

The curving of the yoke from 8 to 12 up to is followed according to the slantness of the front buttoning. The lap-over is the style which is placed towards the arm side, which is taken equal space between 7 and 5 on the waist line, which makes 6 and raised up to the breast line.
