1930s Haslam Dresscutting No. 16 – Dresses, Evening Wear & Fuller Figure Styles

Haslam Illustrated Book of Drafting No. 16 is a late-1930s collection featuring a varied selection of women’s fashions, together with designs for fuller figures and a small selection of children’s garments.

The book includes dresses, suits and coats, evening wear and blouses, as well as dresses specifically designed for fuller figures. It offers a good cross-section of late-1930s clothing, from everyday dresses and separates to smart tailoring and more formal styles.

The designs are created using the Haslam System of Dresscutting, allowing you to draft your chosen garment to your own measurements rather than working from a standard-sized sewing pattern.

To use the designs you will need the Haslam Foundation Drafting Instructions and Drafting Boards. These provide the personal foundation used as the starting point for the designs in the book. The current listing confirms these are required separately.

Some of the illustrations have been colourised to help show how the finished garments may look when made up; the booklet itself is presented in black and white.

Available as a downloadable PDF or printed booklet.
