22 LESSON NO. 12.

STYLE BLOUSE SKETCHING BACK VIEW



The back part of this style is simple. The collar curve, which you will note on the diagram, is raised on the line, from 1 to 3. The curving at the shoulder part is rounded up to meet the effect of the front collar curving to harmonize with the same proportionately. The yoke effect, which is shown on the back, is shown a trifle higher to 2 and 4 with a slight curve effect, which is as a rule, to be used when this style of yoke is formed at the back. The original back view of this diagram where the foundation can be first learned, which is the proper thing to do before making use of a style forming the back is to be found on page 17, lesson 8, where all details are given how to obtain the complete foundation of back view. This is merely an outline of how to build a style on the same. Note that the foundation lines for either front or back are not necessary to be drawn when a style is needed, only the original curve lines can be made. It is understood that this can only be done when the student has full acquaintance with the foundation lines, whereby the necessary curves can already be made freehand, which, no doubt, comes after practice according to the foundation lines.
