CLERICAL CASSOCK VEST. Diagram 48.

This is cut with a wide forepart for the left side and a narrow one for the right side, as indicated by dotted line from I to A.

The diagram is self-explanatory, 5¼ being added at 15 and 6¼ at 16 for the left side.

Care must be exercised when making up to draw it in along the bottom edge, and at 16 to get it to fit smoothly. A V is taken out of pocket mouth as shown.

This is sometimes supplemented by Vs from the scye, the object being to avoid seams in front.

The collar of the left side is sewn to the wide forepart, and of the right side to the small forepart, which is fastened at neck or the inside by a small button at X.

The holes on the left side are often arranged in a fly, as illustrated by figure.

These are generally made from the same material as is used for the coat, but sometimes they are made from black silk with a wide rib, and these latter are often worn for dress.
