In case anyone missed this on the recent Fashion Incubator posts, there's a really cool pattern drafting book in English and Italian online at the Library of Congress archives.
Some very unique pattern manips and drafts for men women and kids. Love how sexed up the fashion art is too. ;)

Very nice. I'll add it to my stash of pattern books. Would be nice if there was table of contents, though.

I have a feeling that this book won't be up for much longer. Normally, when archive.org publishes a text, it has documentation that copyright has expired, or that it has permission from the copyright holder to republish it.
This, however, is in the "open source" collection, which, judging from the amount of spam, is not as carefully curated as the rest of archive.org.

It looks like a great resource, but....
