I'm loving the advice for Stout women of adipose tissue :)
Thank you so much for putting these resources all in one place. I can't wait to explore them all! :-)
Brilliant...what a resource page. I'll look forward to reading them!
These resources are wonderful. I am loving the silent films, seeing the fabric movement, fit and lines of REAL garments! Thank you.
If it wasn't uncouth to drool, I'd be drooling over the pages of Les Createurs de la Mode! C'est magnifique, ...Il m'inspire incroyablement. Je voudrais avoir vécu à l'époque! Sigh.
As Marion states above, The American System of Dressmaking is not easy to navigate. I have created a user-friendly Table of Contents of this book. Send me an email at Bobbie “at” SITUSeattle.com if you would like a copy.
I only took part in the corsetry competition last year, but this is so brilliant for me, as I now have to study 1912 for my college course in September. Awesome resources, thanks very much!
