LESSON 2.
To place Draft to cut Unlined Shirt Waists:- Draft on paper using proper measure same as for a lined waist, except that in unlined waists we add one inch more to bust than for a fitted lining as we make an unlined waist looser than alined one. We also leave out the two front darts in front of waist; draft back by same measure.
Plain across Bust and full at Waist-Place draft on straight of goods on front line in front from neck to bust. After turning a piece and putting a pleat on front if required, don't forget to put centre of box pleat to centre of front, or if waist fastens in back place edge of draft from neck to bust even on the double and cut out on lines marked red front (draft No. r.) If pleats are wanted to be stitched in all way down stitch pleats in before cutting. If pleats are wanted part way put pleats in same way, then cut- If fulness is wanted to gather or shirr allow on front- First gather up goods in your hand over the lining to see how full you wish it, or to compare with the fashion sheet. When allowing for fulness in front always allow an even width from neck to bust; when fulness is divided in neck and shoulder see red front (No 2 draft ) When the back extends over the front and there is no shoulder seam we place shoulder seams together and take it off the front the width you want and put it on the back. Now we cut the front the same, minus what we took off for back ; having a full front which is gathered on plain extension back, (see mark blue, draft 2 ) When you make a seam where none is in lining you must always remember to allow for one on goods. In drawing shape of yoke always get the length you want it when finished ; by marking the length on front line from neck down, from neck on shoulder and down centre of back, from neck down. If you wish a yoke to appear even all around when finished you must measure it one inch longer in back than in front- (See draft of even, round, also square yoke.) If you wish a waist closed in back, place goods on double fold on line in front, and leave it open in centre back. For waist with one side extending over the other in front, place goods on the double fold from neck to bust on front line after turning in the width of extension and draw front having other side come to centre of front, (see draft mark blue No- 1.)
For Backs-If you want a perfectly plain back, cut centre back, rounding back and under-arm pieces out, place them together even at seams and cut in one piece ; this will give you the same plain fit as linings but will have no seams except under-arms which connect with fronts ; this waist can only be cut to waist line, so if you want it below you will have to put on a circular piece. If fulness is wanted down back, or pleats, allow it in centre of back.
See how much one pleat will take and multiply what you get by number of pleats wanted. It for back plain across the shoulders with small pleats or fulness extending up from waist you get fullness by leaving a space in back at rounding seam, (see draft / blue marks.) If for a back without a shoulder seam, draft green shows how front piece is placed on back at shoulder seam and cut longer over shoulder, (see green marks.) o
To fit Shirt Waist-Baste under-arm seams together, commencing at waist line, also shoulder 1 commencing even at neck. If box pleat is down front don't forget to allow half of it on each side, put on to fit, pin down front, see if it is all right 1 around base of neck, next fit back, if plain, pin around waist line, commencing at centre of back, if full at back gather fulness by pleating or gathering ' in centre back, next see if seams are all right. Now fix fulness at front in right position, see what wants paring, if any, at arm's eye, next fit sleeve by seeing ( if it is too loose, tight or long, place tapeline around ( neck to see how loose you make band or collar so
it won't draw ; if fulness in neck mark in band or
collar where it should go. If any trimming in the form of straps, etc., cut out and pin on waist so they j will be right size and in good position ; next seams
are ready to stitch ; press and finish by French (
seams, binding or overcast ; put on what trimming \ you can. Put collar or band on neck, finish bottom of waist by binding, overcast or clipping, stitch fulness at waist on a tape, around waist as this strengthens the waist, or fasten it on tape in neck only. Finish and put in your sleeve, fit again after basting in sleeve, as you often have to baste in a sleeve more than once and it is impossible to tell if they are in right unless fitted on a form or person.
Questions to be answered.
i-What is the difference between measures of a lined and unlined waist ?
2-Why do we turn over the front at front line ?
