A very good form is the foundation for all succeeding lessons. No matter how fairly a dress or style is, if it is placed on a " dumpy " figure, it will have no style whatever.
In this lesson we initial discover how to draw a layout for the form. In the next lesson we dress the same form in a rather easy dress.
A form ought to have beneficial proportion and style. A form leaning forward, or producing a bow, as one could possibly express it, is not stylish, neither is one with too massive a bust and a tiny waist nor 1 with high, square shoulders.
This form is used for dressmaker's sketches, and for any dress to be placed on a lay figure.
When the dress is on the human figure, action comes in play and a total understanding of these lessons will enable the student to draw the human figure in a range of positions.
TO DRAW THE FORM
When drawing the dress form location the figure in the center of the paper. This may well be accomplished by finding the proportions and measuring to see just where to begin the drawing. Leave a little more margin at the bottom, than at the leading.
Draw line 1, which is a rather slight horizontal curve up, then lines 2, three,4, five, 6 and 7 as marked on the lesson plate. Line two is thrown out for the bust, and line 3 is thrown in at the waist, which throws the shoulders back. Lines four and 5 cross lines two and three at the waist, at first curving out for the hips, then curving in to the bottom of the skirt oval. Line 6 (center line of waist) follows line two, not literally, but taking the general direction, obtaining straighter as it reaches the waist line. Line 7 (center line of skirt) runs straight down from line 6.
The collar goes into the shoulders three (three) times and is about the similar height. The lines of the collar curve down, as does the waist line, but the bottom of the sleeve curves up. In the back view this order is reversed, as is explained in Lesson II. The collar and waist fines curve up, and the bottom of the sleeve curves down.
There are 3 planes at the waist: the front, and two sides. You observe but small of the far side in a 3-quarter view. This is true of the collar also. These 3 planes on the waist run into every single other, forming a graceful curve. The planes on the collar do the similar.
To test the accuracy of your form, drop the dotted lines from the center of the near shoulder to the finish of the waist line. This line need to be vertical or parallel with the edges of your paper. Drop the dotted line from the end of the far shoulder to the other end of the waist line. This line also must be vertical.
Practice this figure, carrying out it lots of times. When you feel confident that you understand all that has preceded and can draw Fig. A with snap, take up Fig. B which is the dress form placed on Fig. A.
If you have followed all directions meticulously, you will have a great form on which any costume may possibly be placed.
