A COMPLETE COURSE IN DRESSMAKING
Now you can use your diagram for the side front pattern. Cut out this portion, allowing a seam in front of line AB and also seams at the shoulder, armhole, underarm seam and lower edges. (See Fig 59).
The back will be the same as the block pattern with seams added.
To make the collar pattern, trace the front and the upper part of the back onto another piece of paper. Trace the front first, tracing along the sewing line, that is, without seams. Then, trace the upper part of the back without seams, keeping the shoulder edges even. (See Fig. 61.) Mark the outline of the collar as indicated by the AB. This gives a collar that lies flat on the dress. If you want a collar to roll high in the back, use just a straight fold of goods.
