Now run your needle through the waist line of the backwhere the curved line strikes it, and also the side body at the samepoint, and baste them together, being very careful to have yourneedle strike the under line as perfectly as it does the upper one.You must not think that to miss the line one-sixteenth of an inchwill make no difference in the fit, for it will, and very often caus-es a bad wrinkle in the dress. 5. You will observe that the back shoulder is % inch longerthan the front, therefore the back must be eased in to the front. 6. Now take your tapeline and test your bust, waist and hipsbefore seaming up, to see that no mistake has been made in thedrafting. If not more than an inch too large or small, the correc-tion can be made in the underarm seams. But if more than that,it may be necessary to change the next seam a little. But neverchange the rounding seam. 32 McDermotts New Tapeune Tailor System.
