Subject: "Here's one I made earlier..." vintage dress patterns go online
To: [log in to unmask]
A collection of home dressmaking patterns from the London College of Fashion is now available online at AHDS Visual Arts. This new resource shows the changing fashions of the past century, from flapper fashions of the roaring twenties, to 1950s Dior-inspired dresses, with that famous hourglass shape and cinched-in waist, to funky flares from the era of disco.
The collection has accumulated over the years until it numbers some 800 dating from the 1920s to the present day. The patterns provide information about the history of fashion, the cascade of couture down to everyday wear and the culturally significant phenomena of home dressmaking in Europe and America.
The collection includes designs by leading fashion designers such as Laroche, Givenchy, and Christian Dior, and includes patterns published by Vogue, Butterick and Woman's Weekly, amongst others.
