I am making available photographs of the final patterns for dresses, skirts and blouses that I developed through a vintage draping technique called Precision Draping (by Nellie Weymouth). The patterns were developed on a Standard Misses Size 8. The patterns are photographed on a grid using inches. You may copy the photos and then size up or down in your graphics program like Adobe.
