59 Authentic Turn-of-the-century Fashion Patterns

The patternts are very nice and helpfull! A little bit confusing in terms of construction of the piece. I can recommend it!

There is some general discussion at the beginning of the book. The patterns come next. They are mostly for women, with some for children and a couple for men. The patterns look fine but the instructions are minimal.

This book arrived this morning and is truly a pleasure to look at, some really lovely patterns in a fantastic book. As far as I can tell all the patterns are genuine patterns from the time and should produce genuine looking garments. Although be warned, this is not a book for beginners and some amount of skill is required for all projects. You ideally need to be able to scale the patterns up from the smaller versions and adapt these to the required size. Instructions are also brief and in some cases non-existent so some knowledge of patterns and garment construction would be a plus. However I guess if you have someone to teach or help you it's certainly achievable.

The patternts are very nice! A little bit confusing in terms of construction of the pieces. But overall an amazing product and can't wait to make garments with these patterns!

Muy bien documentado 🥰

Dieses Musterbuch ist einfach fabelhaft. Gut, für Nähanfänger wahrscheinlich eher nicht, aber jemand mit fortgeschrittenen Kentnissen kann sich hier so richtig austoben. Das Ganze als Schnittmuster zu übertragen ist auf jeden Fall super einfach - man braucht allerdings ein Lineal mit Inches statt Zentimeter, sonst geht nix.
