 Figure 1 illustrates the method of taking the body measure. — First, by placing ^ ^ /' 
 the square close up under the arms (one at a time) and marking CC ; draw a line ^ ■ ^' b 
 from one to the other and mark A in center of back ; then measure from O to A , N ^ 
 
 for scye depth, adding i inch for making up From O to B is natural waist, and • l > 
 
 O to D for full length of coat; next measure the Breast, Waist and Seat, all quite 
 snugly, as the Seat measure is as important as the Hreast measure in cutting a coat. 
 Next place the straight-edge against the customer's back, as shown in Figure 2, 
 letting it rest between the shoulder blades and hollow or central portion of the hips, 
 hold it quite firmly and with a rule (or the end of a square) measure from A 
 to B (this we call the incline); also measure from 1) to C (this we call the sup- 
 pression). Care must be taken to measure them close, or rather firmly, against 
 the body, as it is with these measures that we balance the garment. 
 
 HOW TO USE THE INCLINE MEASURE. 
 
 First, when we say such a part of a garment is incline, we mean it is the part 
 of the incline we use; thus when the incline measure is i inch we use i inch; but 
 when the measure is 2 inches we only use i J inches, and for 3 inciies of incline we 
 use only li inches, and for a 4 inch incline we use only fl inches; thus it will be 
 seen tiiat after the first inch we only use i of an inch to each inch of the actual 
 measure 
 
 But with suppression we use the half; for instance: when the suppression 
 measure is 2 inches we use i inch, ami for 3 inches of suppression we use li 
 inches, &c , &c. 
 
 Of the taking of the sleeve measure, and also trousers, we have nothing to say, 
 as there are many ways of taking those measures, and one has proved to be fully as 
 good as the other; but our vests are cut alter the same measure we take for the 
 coat, which is taken over the vest. But for an overcoat, the measure should be 
 taken over the coat over which the overcoat is intended to be worn.

EXPLANATION OF DIAGRAM 1. 
 
 First draw square lines A ; then from A to B is ^ of an inch, all 
 cases ; from B to C is scye depth ; from B to D is len^jth of natural 
 waist; from D to E is two inches in all cases. 
 
 Square Out Lines C, D and E : — From A to F is •} of half Breast 
 measure, witli incline added. G is half way between A and F; H 
 is 1-6 of Breast less ^ of an inch from line F.

 N is on Line J i of an inch from line G. Draw a line from L 
 to N and apply the length from O to line K. From D to P is i inch 
 in all cases ; from line P to Q is J of Breast ; from Q to R is incline ; 
 from R to S is i6 inches in all cases; squared down by line D. From 
 S to r is I h inches when Breast and Seat measure the same, but if 
 Seat is larger than Breast add \ of an inch for each inch that the Seat 
 is larger, or if the Seat is smaller than Breast reduce \ of an inch for 
 each inch that the Seat is smaller. From T to V is ^ of suppression 
 measure; from * to M is i Breast.

EXPLANATION OF DIAGRAM 9. 
 
 Diagram 9 shows how a Cape may be got without drafting. 
 
 First take the Overcoat pattern over which the Cape is to be 
 worn and place shoulder-points together, as illustrated, taking out 
 3 inches between A and B, which will form shoulder. 
 
 Use a straight collar on Cape, so as to admit of its buttoning 
 close under the chin.

EXPLANATION OF DIAGRAMS 12 AND 13. 
 
 Diagriim 12 represents a fat man's frock which is drafted the same as Diagram 
 6, except that C represents J Breast and D * Waist after taking out i incii l)et\veen 
 side body and fore part at waist. 
 
 From C to A is 2i inches and from A to B is 2.\ inciics; from D to E is 2i 
 inches; square up from A to H and shape fore part through B and E; square up 
 from E for lapel and form the same as lapel in Diagram 6. 
 
 Diagram 13 shows how to draft a Sleeve. First measure the scye of the gar- 
 ment close around the edge, making no allowance for seams, which, for example, 
 we will say is 17 inches scye measure. Deduct 1 inch from scye measure which will 
 leave 16 inches for sleeve measure, showing that in all cases the sleeve must be 
 drafted 1 inch smaller than the actual scye measure, except the distance from C to F 
 and from C to G ; which will be explained in their proper place ; proceed to diaft 
 by drawing square lines from point A. 
 
 Maik from A to B ^V '^^ sleeve or small measure. 
 " A to C is i " " 
 
 " ' A to D is < " " 
 
 " " C to E is T»5 
 
 " '• C to G is J of scye or full measure. 
 " " C to F is ^ " " 
 
 Draw line from E to G and from G to H. 
 
 From I to J is | of an inch, in all cases. 
 
 From I to H is the width of arm of square. 
 
 From I to K is " " 
 
 Find length of sleeve at L. 
 
 From M to N is It inches, in all cases. 
 
 From N to L is 6i inches for width of sleeve.

EXPLANATION OF DIAGRAMS 14 AND 15. 
 
 Diagram 14 represents a Vest, drafted to the same breast measure 
 as the coat. 
 
 From I to J is the back shoulder point of coat, which is 
 J and i of breast 
 
 From Hne I to H is i J inches ; G is half way from line I to H ; 
 the other points are the same as the coat, except F, which is i inch 
 farther to the front, and h inch shorter. 
 
 From A to B is 2\ inches; from C to I) is the same; shape vest 
 as illustrated, taking out the surplus cloth between L and K, which 
 must always amount to h inch more than the incline used for the 
 coat, or, in other words, take out the incline and J inch extra at the 
 waist from L to K for any case where the waist measure is not 4 
 inches smaller than the breast, and apply waist measure from M to L 
 and K to C, as illustrated in Diagram 15, throwing the waist to the 
 front and marking 2i inches from B to E the same as for a fat man's 
 coat.

EXPLANATION OF DIAGRAMS 16 AND 17. 
 
 Diagram i6 shows how to draft the fore part of a pair of trousers ; 
 first square Unes from point A ; from A to B is the height of waist ; 
 from B to C is the length of leg ; D is half way between B and C ; 
 E is 2 inches above D in all cases; from A to F is lA inches in all 
 cases; from B to H is ^ seat on halves; from H to I is J seat; 
 from I to K is ^ inch ; from H to J is ^ inch. 
 
 Square up from H to find G. Measure out j of waist from F to 
 find O. ; find half the distance from G to O and mark P as shown in 
 dotted lines — thus P represents a large while G represents a slim 
 waist; from C to L is t3 of seat; from L to M is t\ and A of seat ; 
 N is i of seat from B ; draw a line from N to L and from K to M ; 
 from R to Q is i of knee. R should be the same distance from S 
 that Q is from T, the object being to reduce the fore part of the knee 
 as much from one side as the other, in order to give a perfect balance 
 to narrow trousers. The knee measure for a wide knee often occupies 
 the entire space from S to T 
 
 Diagram 17 shows how to get the back part. Draw a line from 
 N to I ; from N to A is i^ inches in all cases ; from I to D is i if inches 
 in all cases; from G to E is j!j seat ; from E to F is c seat ; from C to 
 U is 2.^ inches ; add that to the forepart and measure from F" to U, the 
 half of waist with i inch added for seams, and as the forepart is i of 
 knee, add i inch from R to P and from O to O for seams in leg ; from 
 V to W is .J of bottom and h inch for seams, and from X to Y is the 
 same
