A few weeks back, my pattern making teacher introduced us to Australian Home Journal. The journal, which is no longer in print has been going since the 1900's and was for the purpose of making clothes from patterns that accompanied the journal.
Back in the day, it was normal to make one's own clothes from quality fabrics which would last and could be altered as trends in hemlines changed.
The book would come with illustrations and later with photos as technology changed.
Today, copies of Australian Home Journal can be found at op-shops or online. If you are lucky like my pattern making teacher, then you may be able to acquire some in mint condition.
