Hem
45
You can mark the hem either at the bottom of the form or at one of the wires of the cage on the bottom of the form (Once you mark an even hem from the form you can easily measure up or down from this hem to adjust your pattern to be closer to the length of your style). Mark the hem at Center Back and center front. 46
Smooth the side seam down the form and mark hem at side. 47
Smooth each section of skirt straight down from the waist to mark the hem at two or three locations in the back panel. 48
Repeat on front panel. 49
Trim muslin to within 1-1/2" of marked hem. Take the muslin off the form and unpin the side seam. Balance the side seam, then re-pin the muslin to pin test the drape.
