Method of drawing draft

Figure 1 Draft

Draw the draft on a folded sheet of paper.

Mark point A on the fold

On this line mark C such that A-C = ⅟₄ chest + 2”

A-B = full length + 1”( from shoulder line to hem)

Draw perpendicular lines from points A, C and B.

On the perpendicular line at A, mark points D and G such that A-D = A-C and D-G =4”.

On the perpendicular line at C, mark points E and H such that A-D =C-E and D-G =E-H.

On the perpendicular line at B Mark point F such that B-F =A-D. Produce Line B-F to O such that F-O=5”.

Join points D-E-F and G-H.

On the line E-H mark point J such that E-J = 1½”.

On the line E-F Mark point I such that E-I = 1½”.

On the line G-H mark K such that H-K= 1”.

Join I-O.

Mark P on the I-P such that P-O =1”.

Join F-P by a curved line as shown in the figure.

Join I-J-K by a curved line as shown in the figure.

On the line A-D Mark L such that A-L =⅛ chest

On the line A-B mark N such that A-N = 3” or to taste. Shape front neck by curve L-N.

On the line A-B mark point M such that A-M = 2”.Shape back neck by curve L-M.

Cut along the line G-K-J-I-P-F-B.

Cut back neck shape by cutting along the curve L-M.

Separate front and back of the draft by cutting along the line M-N-C-B.

Keep one portion which has got no markings aside. This is back draft. On the other portion the draft cut front neck shape L-N. This is the draft of the front.
