HOW TO MAKE A LOST DART IN FRONT
LESSON NO. 13
The lost dart can be adopted to any garment wanted. As a practical point, I shall recommend this lost dart for half fitting garments only. For tight-fitting garments, this dart is not sufficient and a larger amount cannot work. To begin, make from Z to Y 2 inches for long waist and no allowance is made in front except the button stand. The dart line is made in front the same way, from F to V take half of X, now measure from X to V and take the same amount from Y to N, this is on the long waist. Now divide from N to X makes K, now take out both sides of N, from N to 1 is U of an inch, from N to 2 is ¾ of an inch. Now draw lost lines from K to L. again from M, K, R to L, this completes the front with the lost dart.
