No, I don't think so.If only I could read Russian. The whole book is an exercise in reverse engineering.

These old drafts are great! But the drawing on the right is not for the pattern on the left, right? The cup and the hem are both completely different.

I found this amusing. Our Russian seamstress is trying to copy German designs.

In that middle picture it's awesome to see the uneven seam allowances for the lapped seam drawn right on. No cutting large and trimming later for them.

unfortunately, some of the other pages have thumbs obscuring a critical part of the text.

Not yet-- I'm still fussing over how to copy a corset of mine that does not fit-- without disassembling it, or leaving stray marks. The boning doesn't make it lie flat.

And converting it into a python algorithm that can be sent to draftcad....

So-- busy.
