I am studying the Danckaerts system to draw patterns and my teacher asked me to make a dress from the time she invented the method. She and her husband created the system in 1895. I never made anything from this period before.
I found a book The "keystone" jacket and dress cutter an 1895 guide to womans tailoring. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51S7Q2XQNNL.jpg Has anyone experience with this book? Are there any other books that are interesting for this time? I have the cut of women's clothes victorian and edwardian fashions from "la mode illustree" I don't think those balloon shaped sleeves will look very well on me :-\ . I have brought shoulders from myself... _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
