 9 to 9½, is ¼1 breast plus ½.

9 to 20½, half chest plus 2½.

20½ to 12½, the across chest measure.

Find neck point by Square, as described before.

Make 12 to F to have the front shoulder measure less width of back neck.

12½1 to D the over-shoulder measure less ½ W of back.

Take out 1½ at waist under arm.

Measure up waist to nett measure.

Make F to B one-twelfth breast less 1 inch, and complete as shown.

Diagram 271.

The only difference in Diagram 271 is that the gorge is cut close up.

F, V, is made parallel to depth of scye line.

F to V, and V to I. each one-twelfth breast, less ½ inch.

In both styles arrange a nice curve over the hips, forming a good point at both back and front.
