can you upload an image of what you are referring to?  Right above where you typed in your question, there in an upload/insert button, you can use that to upload the picture.   Off the top of my head is that they are possibly darts or the line at which you cut out your size.  Do these lines have numbers next to them?  We have a tutorial on some basic concepts, there might be a clue in one. cutting out your fabric https://www.professorpincushion.com/professorpincushion/cutting-out-a-pattern/   Pattern Layout https://www.professorpincushion.com/professorpincushion/pattern-layout/   Making Fabric https://www.professorpincushion.com/professorpincushion/marking-fabric/
