1930. Portfolio. Very Good. Original Russian portfolio of hand-drawn sewing patterns and fashion sketches for women's clothing, circa 1930s. Lined 40-page quarto notebook, filled with pencil and ink sketches, many in color, illustrating period fashions. Pinned-in tissue paper patterns, hand-written notes in Russian describing detailing and measurements. Owner-created pockets hold more patterns and a vintage paper ruler. In the same way garments can be constructed by piecing fabric, this workbook pieces paper to personally tailor a one-of-a-kind artifact of Soviet fashion history.
