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.

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.
