Dress pattern designing

I stocked them on eBay until I'd collected them all.

Flat Pattern Cutting & Modeling for Fashion, Helen Stanley, 1972, Dorothy Moore's Pattern Drafting and Dressmaking, 1971, Dress Pattern Designing, Natalie Bray, 1961.

I'd made enough pants over the years to understand how pants worked.

I knew the shapes of the pattern pieces, what they were supposed to look like.
