As we learned before " the lines follow the form " so the yoke must fit around the form, hence it follows that the yoke line (if a perfectly plain yoke) will follow the waist line.
If there happens to be a fancy design on the yoke, the general direction of the yoke will fit the form, but will be broken into by the design.
Place the tucks an even distance from the center line the same as the plaits, but if stitched down, as they are in Fig. J, they will not flare. Note the guide lines drawn through the ends of the tucks (where they stop) and where the fullness begins.
To test the knowledge acquired from this lesson draw numerous forms three-quarter view, or full front, and dress them in skirts like the ones illustrated in this lesson. Use pen-and-ink clippings of skirts.
