Fig. (81) The new neck and closing outline on the pattern
need fullness added at the underarm, as a bloused over effect must not give the appearance of being scant. See dotted line on diagram for the back. The amount you add is a matter of taste.
Where the front closing is at the side-front, as in this case, cut out your front and place it on another piece of paper, mark around it and then, turn it over and mark around it again, keeping the center-front on the same line each time. (See Fig. 81.) This gives you the whole front on which to work. Line
