Default 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:

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...
