0, 9, depth of scye.

0, 17, natural waist.

17 to 1, 1 inch.

1 to 1¾, ¾ inch.

Draw back seam from 0 through ½ to 1¾.

Back neck one-twelfth breast less ½ inch, and come up ¾.

Sweep from 0 to 5 by ½.

Width of shoulder 31 to 5, one-eighth breast plus ½.

½ to 10¼, one-fourth breast plus ¾.

1¾ to 10½, one-fourth waist plus ¾.

Shape back scye and get length of side from forepart when drafted, 10¼ A agreeing with 0, B of Diagram 38.

Backs are usually cut from Silesia for the cheaper qualities and Italian cloth for the better qualities. The colour in each case to match forepart.

Buckle and Strap should be put on over the waist line, if possible they should be sewn in with the sideseams.

An inlay is usually left on down the sideseams.
