First sighting of duct-tape double?
From _The New-Way Course in Fashionable Clothes-Making_, 1926: Lesson 24: The Dress Form You are now going to learn something that has never been taught in any dressmaking course before. You are going to learn how to fit your own figure, without any outside aid whatever, without a dress form or a model lining. An ordinary shirt, a little gummed paper, and a little work and time—and you have before you a duplicate of your own figure with every little line and curve just exactly where it ought to be! I found it at: http://www.vintagesewing.info/1920s/26-FCM/FCM-24.htm Joy Beeson -- http://home.earthlink.net/~joybeeson/ joy beeson at earthlink dot net |

Very interesting! Now, spin forward to today, when I found at the hardware store "transparent" duct tape - very cool stuff, and really duct tape, not plastic tape! From the old gummed tape to a "crystal" double... $.01 |
