THE PRACTICAL SKETCHER
INTRODICTION
Recognizing theneeds ofa practical method
for garment sketching, I have set my mind to
build asolid baseof well-controlled and system-
aticoutlines forpractical sketching by whichthe
methodisnot onlyto bring the necessaryoutlines
butalsoto simplify the systemofbodysketching
for all kinds of women's, misses', juniors', chil-
dren's, and infants' garments.
Thesystematicoutlines ofsketching givenin
these pages are based on positive constructions
whereby each diagram fulfills the requirements
of a certain body foundation for sketching by
which a practical method of sketching can be
mechanically controlled.

THE PROBLEM OF GARMENT
SKETCHING.
When beginning to sketch itis necessary for
ustorememberthat whensketching thegarment
there isno such thing as a set of measures which
buildthe sizesofsketching, all there is necessary
is, that we need to employ a certain amount of
spacebywhich the entire sketch is carried out.
A sketch isthereforebuilt by basesofinches, 1 in-
ch, I2 inch, or '4 inch.
You will note that theinstruction in the foJ-
lowingpages, theentire method is given and de-
scribed by inch spaces. These spaces are the
divisionsequallydivided according to the height
ofthebodywhich will, no doubt, prove that in
ordertomake the proportional sketch it is nec-
essaryforthe sketcher toremember tohave some
knowledge ofobtaining proportions accordingto
heightmeasure forwhich a diagram and descrip-
tion is given in the continuing pages by which
thismethod willbe fully described.
It isalso necessary to remember that each
and every different kind of garment meaning,
waists,skirts, and dresses, occupya part of the
entire height division for instance, the waist
foundationoccupys 2 unitsofthisheightdivision
The skirtoccupys 5 units of height division and
when the entire amountisadded, which means 2
for waist and 5for skirt,which fully amounts to
7unitswhich shows thatweare toemploythese 7
unitsfor the full body which combines thewaist
and theskirt andmakes a dress foundation.
