Therefore, you only need (1) and (3) of the Haslam System components to make any of the garments in this book. If you have a Haslam Chart (similar to a dressmaking/tailor's square), you only need the book in this auction to create the patterns for the fashions shown. If you do not have a Haslam Chart, Bramcost Publications has published the Chart in an auction titled "Haslam Curve Foundation Drafting Book" which can be found in our eBay store. The Haslam System of Dresscutting is a very comprehensive pattern drafting program used to create garments based on your specific body measurements -- enabling you to create vintage fashions custom-fit to your body. Using 14 body measurements, you first create your foundation pattern using the instructions at the beginning of the book and the Haslam Chart (sold separately under auction title "Haslam Curve Foundation Drafting Book"). The foundation pattern is your "base" pattern and is used to create the rest of the pattern designs in the book. Once the foundation pattern is complete, you can create your custom-fitted patterns for any of the garments using the instructions and diagrams in the book. There are more than 80 Books of Draftings in the Haslam System, with each book containing different draftings and fashion styles for pattern making from the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s and 1950s — everything from vintage skirts and blouses to lingerie and wedding gowns to beach wear and childrens clothing. Each book is unique in the styles offered and contains clear, concise pattern draftings. This book is perfect for designers, fashion illustrators, tailors and home sewers with a love of vintage fashion. The diagrams and instructions throughout the book are straight-forward and provide a comprehensive guide for creating classic styles of the early 1930s.
