    This comes from Chapter VI of Archibald Whife's book Cutting from Block Patterns (published circa 1960).

    Included are sections on drafting a draped and semi-draped style of lounge, adding a side body or an extended
    front dart, pleated and belted backs, as well as dinner jackets.

    Here is the original text published in the weekly Tailor & Cutter, June 17, 1949 (I thought of cropping out the
    irrelevant bit about the darts contest but I decided to keep it for your amusement ):

    Of interest is the last passage briefly discussing the treatment of darts including the extended front dart and the
    side body style.

    On the very next page (Whife?) shows a coat by Bailey & Weatherill of Regent St with what is described as
    having "the slight drape modification" with a "narrower shoulder":

    This is perhaps being shown as an example of the moderate drape style that Whife describes in the previous
    article.
