Hi Fran,
Thanks. Yes, I have a lot of the information on Thompson's, just not a
source for the jacket on the cover of the reprint from Lacis. I suppose
I've been away from e-mails for a while, but am trying to re-activate my
seemingly dormant creativity by doing something that seems really fun to me.
I'm hoping that maybe this will be a project from the cover of a book, but
I'm running into an early quandary.
Does anyone have Garment Patterns
Thompson's Universal System is available at the Costumer's Manifesto:

I don't know what the Kliots used for their version.

I have a set of their scales and a stack of their publications. Their
strategy was to give you some fashion plates and some diagrams of basic
components, and let you decide how to put the outfit together.
