Stays and Corsets: Historical Patterns Translated for the Modern
Body goes a step beyond traditional historical costuming texts by
not only providing you with historical pattern diagrams and
information, but by showing you how to adapt these patterns to the
contemporary body shape. Using her original pattern-drafting
system, author Mandy Barrington will show you how to draft a
historical pattern for a modern body shape, while still retaining
an accurate historical silhouette. Each pattern has been generated
from an original stay, corset, or pattern taken from a historical
garment. The instructions to follow these new patterns are designed
to accommodate any size of female figure, allowing you to avoid
extremely difficult, time consuming, and inaccurate historical
pattern re-sizing Requiring only basic prior knowledge of pattern
drafting, all calculations have been worked out for the costume
maker and are provided in simple tables accompanied by
easy-to-read, step-by-step diagrams that clearly show how the
historical pattern is plotted onto the female basic block, coupled
with photographs of the constructed stays and corsets.
