ruler |
Pretty accurate
for an amateur. The blue vertical line can be taken to represent
your centerline. |
If you are
wearing a t-shirt and are concerned, draw a line on it. If you
are wearing a semi-formal |
cotton top (as I
am here) or a formal silk top, with any luck the frogs or
buttons will nestle on the |
centerline. The
red line shows the ruler is parallel to the ground. In the
beginning you have to move |
the ruler to
where it is right according to an outside observer. After a
while, wherever you position |
the ruler will be
right. The emphasis now is to remember how different adjustments
feel. |
