Not illustrated. 1922 Excerpt: ... than the size of the bust. Position of seam C. The underarm seam or, where an underarm piece is used, the front underarm seam is the key line for all fitted or semifitted garments which extend below the waist. It should be drawn as a plumb line, for if it slants forward or backward at the top it will give the effect of throwing the body out of balance. This seam is usually placed at the front edge of the hollow underneath the arm. In order to place seam C in the drawing at the right point of the armhole, it is a good plan to measure down from the shoulder on the arm curve to the top of the seam. In some systems, this line is placed by taking the measure of the distance between the center front seam and the highest points of seam C. The slant of seam C in the drawing of a tight fitting waist should be the same as the slant of the underarm seam in a shirtwaist pattern for a corresponding bust measure. Two different positions for seam B and the relation of each to the center chest line. Fig. 23. Seam D is placed usually about parallel to seam C just back of the hollow under the arm. The exact shape of the underarm piece defined by these two seams will vary somewhat with the relative size of the bust and waist. For slender figures with a normal waist size, the underarm piece is about the same width at the waist and bust, while with a large bust and small waist it may be made wider at the bust and narrower at the waist. At the arm curve an underarm piece is usually slightly narrower than at the bust line. Seam E is placed most often so that it coincides at the shoulder with B. Its position at the waist line is governed by the size of the waist and the desirability of breaking the space across the back by a line which tapers in towards the center back as ...
