Patterns for underwear and lingerie
A 1916 dressmaking course publication issued by the Woman's Institute of Domestic Arts and Sciences in Scranton, Pennsylvania, teaching home sewers to draft patterns for underwear and lingerie. The pictures are plain line diagrams of paper pattern pieces, with lettered points, dashed seam lines and shaded fabric areas, showing how bodice and garment shapes are cut and fitted, which a designer might use for pattern-piece layouts or technical flat-drawing motifs.
