if you are willing to REALLY do it period......

These are the drafting systems I have collected so far. I own the physical copy of Cornwells and McDowell, and I redid the entire Devere's scans page by page to straighten and cleanup the online copy I found.


6.3mb - Cornwells Victorian Cutting Method - 1888
http://www.victoriansweatshop.com/Ga...hod - 1888.pdf

9.6mb - Garment Drafting Systems/Devere 1866 v2
http://www.victoriansweatshop.com/Ga...re 1866 v2.pdf

518kb - Devere Rulers
http://www.victoriansweatshop.com/Ga...ere Rulers.pdf
(note regarding the rulers PDF: if you print it with NO scaling, landscape, on 11x17 paper they will be accurate.

24.6mb - Devere's Ladies Costume Patterns
http://www.victoriansweatshop.com/Ga...e Patterns.pdf

2.2mb - McDowell - Using the machine
http://www.victoriansweatshop.com/Ga...he machine.jpg

62.4kb - McDowell Drafting Ad

2.9mb - McDowell instruction book 1885
http://www.victoriansweatshop.com/Ga... book 1885.pdf

EDIT: to fix links
