HOW TO MAKE DRESSES
neck, shoulder, armhole, underarm and bottom and a hem at the line CD. You can use your diagram for the left front, adding a seam beyond the shoulder, armhole, underarm and bottom and a hem on the edge EF. In cutting out the back, allow seams at all edges, except the center-back. The center-back will be placed on the fold in cutting the goods.
To make pattern for the neck facing, trace the upper parts of the patterns on another piece of goods, tracing along the original lines of the diagram without seams, and keeping the shoulder edges together. (See Fig. 82.) Line AB is the center-front and line CD is the center-back. Mark the facing in any desired shape, as indicated by the dotted line.
