Patterns for children and misses' garments
A 1917 pattern book from Scranton, Pennsylvania, published by the Woman's Institute of Domestic Arts & Sciences, giving home sewing patterns for children's and misses' garments. The diagrams are paper-folding cut guides drawn on squares with a fold line along the bottom, showing curved armhole, neck and sleeve cuts; a designer might borrow their clean line-drawn geometry for simple flat garment schematics.
