 DRESS VESTS. Diagram 42.

Draft all the points as Diagram 38.

Add on spring and notch at neck as for the last.

Mark off the position of the top button and get shape of opening by marking back from J 3 inches, and draw line up to the notch at F, and so get a guide to form hollow of fronts. For D. B. Dress Vests, add on extra at front, as per dash line, about 2 inches wide, and place buttons as far behind breast line as eye of the hole is in front of it.

The collar is often only outlined with braid If a real collar is put on, it is cut by the forepart in the same way as the fly of a pair of trousers.

The outline of opening is marked from F to J, 1 inch is added to turn over the edge and the collar itself is cut from 1 to 1½ inches wide.

Dress vests are usually made from the same material as the coat, but sometimes of fancy silk or white marcella.

They should never show below the strap of the coat.
