SECOND COMPLETE FOUNDATION FOR A DRESS

To continue the entire foundation for a dress we continue as follows: Divide from 1 to 3, which makes X and from 2 to 4, which makes XX and draw a straight line from X to XX. Then divide from 1 to X, which makes 8 and draw a line down to 9. This line particularly calls our attention that the main bust line will be built towards the right, which will be called right hand side view.

Now let us build the shoulder line. For the shoulder line divide the upper space in half, which makes 5 and draw a line straight across and then divide from 1 to 5, making 6; draw a line also across, as shown on the diagram. Equally divide from X to 3, which makes 7 the outline for continuation for the neck place.

In order to continue this foundation or for further advancing see the next diagram and description.
