Draw a vertical cutting line from the front armhole notch perpendicular to the hem. On the waist line, measure the dart intake with 2.5 cm from the vertical cutting line to the left. Cross out the original waist dart. Measure \u00bd of the chest width minus 1\/40 of the chest girth from the bust point downwards to determine the under bust line. Square out to the left and right from this point. Measure \u00bc of the under bust girth minus 0.5 cm from the side seam to the left (Ubu = under bust girth = 78.0 cm).
