34 LESSON NO. 19

STYLISH SKIRT SKETCH

This lesson shows how to sketch a stylish skirt. You will note that this skirt is built on the ordinary foundation as begun with the exception that a trifle change is made regarding the style. Note the differences as follows:

At the waist line, which is the principle part, note that at 10, which is half of the right hand space between 1 and X, there is ⅛ of an inch allowance towards 1. The left hand side from 9, there is ¼ of an inch in towards the center and 9 is half space of X and 3.

The yoke part of this skirt, which is rested on the second line is about ¼ of the total height, which is therefore the average length of a short yoke. The bottom of the skirt is naturally increased with a straight line to show the medium fullness of the skirt which is as a rule left to judgment, and also to carry out the various styles, from time to time.

This skirt shows a short length skirt. For a full length skirt we reach the bottom line from 2 to 4, and as this sketch, we have the skirt shorter about 4 inches, which is represented by ½ inch space up at 5 and 6.

The back part of this sketch is simply continued exactly the same effect with the exception that we may make at the back no buttoning.
