In whatever Action your Figures are engaged, let their Draperies be seen in a Disposition Correspondent; still making the Folds, and Contours conspire together, and accommodating these so perfectly to the Posture, as that there be no room for doubt, or uncertainty, with regard to the real Attitude of the Figure. And take especial care, that none of the Folds be too deep, nor appear to reach below the Surface of the Body. Lastly, whenever you represent a Figure drest with several Garments, one over another, take care, that it do not appear as if there were a Skeleton, so dress'd: But let the Bigness of the whole Figure, be so proportion'd, as that besides the Thickness of the several Garments, there appear a Body of a reasonable Bulk, underneath.

The Folds of the Drapery, wherewith any Member is covered, ought to fall off, and diminish, towards the extremes of the part which they encompass

The Length of those Folds, which set the closest to the Body, must be seen wrinkled on that side, whereon any Member bends, and is shortened; and distended on the side opposite.
