I

Using the dress foundation to waistline only, trace front and back as indicated, having the shoulder touching at neckline, and spreading shoulder edges 1″ at armhole. Slash waist dart between A and 6;then close up front dart as shown in diagram II.

II.

Lower neckline 1″ at center front, add 3/4″ to center front for closing overlap; add 3/4″ for blousing allowance in front and back. Place sleeve foundation with cap overlap; add ping front armhole ½″ at shoulder, having each side of lower part of cap at equal distance from arnthole and side seam. Shorten sleeve 5″. Raise elbow dart 1″.

III

For dolman sleeve, draw diagonal guide line 4″ long at each side; then draw curved underarm lines from waistline to sleeve.

Draft 3″ wide cuff for lower edge of sleeve; then trace for double material cuff.

Draft front facing 1″ wide at shoulder having facing line parallel to center front; then trace facing and front in one section. For waistband, make a double band 1-¼″ wide finished and the length of half of the waist measure, plus ¾″ extension for center front closing.

This style features striped fabric with the stripes running straight at center front and bias in back.

Jacket blouses slightly at waistline which permits free arm movement.
