During this period the feminine S-curved silhouette was translated  into luxurious formal gowns, beautifully tailored suits, and practical  home and sports wear. Whether elaborate or simple, many garments were  custom made and distinctively trimmed.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 79 patterns in this book include afternoon, evening, ball, and  wedding gowns; home and maternity wear; suits and blouses for day and  business; lingerie; outer coats; and outfits for riding, golf, and other  sports. Each pattern has a fashion plate, plus instructions for drafting  and assembly. Additional fashion columns and plates supplement the  information on fabrics, trims, and construction. A substantial glossary  explains period fabric names and dressmaking terms.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe patterns may be enlarged either by projection, or by drafting  with the Diamond Cutting System used with the original magazines. The  Diamond Cutting System is a patent drafting system requiring special  rulers that eliminate arithmetic. It enables sewers with no drafting or  design training to enlarge the patterns to an individual's unique  measurements. Because the system is as accurate and easy to use as ever,  a full set of rulers is provided in this book. Clear, step-by-step  instructions are given for both drafting and projection.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lavolta Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47013479874800,"sku":"9780963651723","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780963651723_p0.gif?v=1763863482","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780963651723","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
