Janet Arnold’s Patterns of Fashion

Abstract

This article celebrates fifty years of the series of pattern books by Janet Arnold and shares some of her unpublished drawings from patterns that remain unpublished; these are scheduled for inclusion in further volumes of the series. Several important aspects of pattern taking and making are explored in the article, including the use of X-radiography and the testing of patterns by the construction of toiles.
