There's a side body?
Not only that, look at the shape of it at the scye!
I've seen them and they are exceptional. LL tweeds and flannels are really good. I was in Canada this week and it dropped down to 18 degrees, you could use some of those LL tweeds and flannels.
Well, kind of, yes. That dart shouldn't reach the armhole, it should terminate if I am not mistaken. Well traditionally anyway.
Not necessarily; I have seen some drafts where the under-arm dart terminates before reaching the arm-hole but it can often go all the way. Then, of course, it is whether the other end of this dart is extended right to the hem of the coat which determines whether there is a separate side-body or not. It looks like it might actually stop at the pocket line (where the ruler is placed) rather than extending the hem, his fingers are covering where it would go so its hard to be sure.
Sidebody or not, I was under the impression that a true drape cut was the terminating dart. I don't think it can be called a sidebody with a terminating dart. If a dart doesn't terminate it is just a seam.
Which end of the dart are we talking about? Only one end of the dart has to terminate for it to be a dart (rather than a seam). Usually the top end goes right into the arm-scye, it is the bottom end which either terminates at the pocket for a normal under-arm dart (no side-body) or carries onto the hem to become the side-body seam.
Your prevous post said it "shouldn't reach the armhole", which suggests that you're talking about the top end of the dart?
Do you know what era or decade the Whyfe system is from?
