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!
