Haslam Dresscutting System

I purchased The Haslam System of Dresscutting on Ebay over the summer but am just now getting around to taking a good look at it. 

This system is a comprehensive pattern drafting program used to create garments based on one's specific body measurements, supposedly enabling one to create vintage fashions custom-fit to your body.  The system uses 14 body measurements.  Seems rather similar to the Lutterloh System, I think.

Directions say to first create your foundation pattern using the instructions at the beginning of the book and the Haslam Chart. The foundation pattern is your "base" pattern and is used to create the rest of the pattern designs in the book. Once the foundation pattern is complete, you can create custom-fitted patterns for any of the garments in the book.

There are more than 80 Books of Draftings in the Haslam System, from the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. I purchased the 1950s book along with the system.

I have my chart assembled and hope to begin on my foundation pattern after the first of the year.  I will be thrilled if this system works as well as promised.

The system and books are available on ebay.
