the hip curve.
11. Corner of D, H is I.
12. From I, measure ½ inch upward for J.
13. Connect D and j with the aid of hip curve to
shape the hemline.
 STEP 3: SHAPING THE WAISTLINE AND
DART
1. AAI is ½ inch down.
2. FFI is ¼ inch upward. Connect A1 with F1
using hip curve.
3. Measure 5/8 inches on both side of E.
4. Square BE to produce K. connect K on both
sides of E to show the dart.
5. Cut front pattern from A1, E, F1, G, H to J.
6. Continue cutting A1 down to D and J.
 DRAFTING THE BACK PART OF THE
