IRules tor Drafting tbe IIbree*<3oreo Skirt.—plate 3.

THE FRONT GORE.

i Line i is the length of the skirt.

2 Line 2 is four inches from dot A, and is % of % of the hip

measure.

3 Line 3 is twice the length of line 2.

4, 5 Draw line 4, then line 5 square with line 1. Measure on line 4, from line 5, the length of skirt, and curve line 3 to this measurement. Now draft the side gore before finishing the front.

THE SIDE GORE.

6, 7 Line 6 is length of skirt; line 7 is four inches from dot B, and is Y± of y x of the hip measure.

8 Line 8 is twice and y\ the length of line 7.

9, 10 Draw lines 9 and 10. Measure on line 9, from line 10, the length of skirt and curve line 8 to this measurement.

The difference between the sum of the length of lines 5 and 10, and 3/s of the waist measure, will give the amount to be taken off from the sides of the gores (above the hip lines) and in darts. Take off half this amount equally at the sides, as indicated, and half in equal darts. Draw lines through the center of waist and hip lines, for dart spaces. Draw the darts and then slope the sides. The back of the skirt is straight and needs no drafting. If the skirt measure is not the same in length all around, make the changes at the top, keeping the hip lines parallel with the waist lines and lines that go together, of the same length.
