56 LESSON NO. 30

STYLE OF SUIT

FRONT VIEW

In order to begin this suit, it is understood that the entire foundation is to be used, as the suit consists of a jacket and a skirt, which covers the entire body. Before beginning this style note the position of the foundation. Ihe position of this entire diagram shows a right hand view and to continue the style begin first with the jacket the following way. Situate the opening of the lapel in front according to your taste, which is this time with ½ space of the breast and the waist line. Then take about ½ of shoulder, which is shown at 5 and continue with the collar and notch lapel, lost to the buttoning place.

Note that 3 at the breast line is the opening, is closed, which shows that the center line from 3 to 4 is the guide to show how much ever lapping there is. Note extension at the collar all around the neck, which is shown at 9 and 10. The left hand lapel at 6 is, as a rule, built wider to show the side effect of the entire garment. At the right side we are showing the exact space of every part of the garment. The scallop and gathering at 7 and 8 shows ⅛ space between the waist and hip line.

The skirt part is built on the same fashionable outlines as the jacket to harmonize with the out-growing points regarding style and effect.
