1940s Haslam Dresscutting Lingerie No. 7 – Underwear, Nightwear & Loungewear

Haslam Illustrated Book of Drafting for Lingerie No. 7 is an extensive 1940s collection covering lingerie, nightwear, loungewear and practical clothing, with designs extending well beyond underwear alone.

The book includes bras, slips, French knickers, camisoles and knickers, together with nightgowns, bed jackets, dressing gowns, house dresses and a housecoat. There are also blouses and skirts, a bolero and cardigan, overalls, trousers and a waistcoat, plus a man’s shirt.

The collection also includes maternity designs for a dress and smock, making this an unusually varied Haslam book for creating both everyday and at-home clothing of the period.

The designs are created using the Haslam System of Dresscutting, allowing you to draft the garments to individual measurements rather than working from standard-sized sewing patterns.

To use the designs you will need the Haslam Foundation Drafting Instructions and Drafting Boards. These are used to prepare your personal foundation before adapting it with the drafting instructions for your chosen design.

Available as a downloadable PDF or printed booklet.
