Find Gil Elvgren’s ‘The complete pin-ups’ on TASHEN or Amazon

Just acquired this brand new gem to my library:

Grace Kelly Style, 2010 [Review on SMH] [Buy from Amazon]

I managed to source this divine vintage patterning and dressmaking book to compliment my vintage dressmaking library.

The book doesn’t have a year on it, but I’d place it somewhere in the late 40′s or early 50′s. It goes through dress patterning step by step, revealing the tips and tricks behind all those gorgeous vintage design details, and teaches how to draw your own tailored patterns.

Not only is the book fabulous, it’s in flawless condition!
