The first subject dealt with is
GRADING.
Diagrams 325 and 326.
One of the best methods of getting a complete set of patterns to contain the same features of style is that known as Grading.
This is illustrated on Diagram 325.
Draw line G, F level with the bottom of scye.
Mark in from G to 9, ¼ breast.
Draw lines from 9 to A, B and C.
Increase from 9 to G, half for every inch increase, and vice versa.
Vary ½ at A, rather less at 13 and ⅜ at C.
Now mark back from the front F to 9 ¼ breast.
Draw lines D, E, F.
Vary ⅜ at D, ½ at E, and ½ at F.
Adjust width of shoulder to match back.
To grade the sleeve, draw a line from A to 13, A to C and A to D.
Vary from A to B, ½ inch, and the same at C, making it 1 inch at D.
Beyond 36, the length is practically stationary.
