Tailoring used to be far more dramatic, even after we had moved over to off-the-rack mass production. The ideal body shape for men has long focused on the broad shoulders and generally shapeless body. It turns out, however, that this might be because of fast fashion more than it is about our own ideals! As of the late 1910s menswear was particularly curvy, with a broad chest and hips, but narrow shoulders and waist. I've always wondered how the silhouette actually looks on a moving body, rather than just in fashion drawings. So, today, I'm experimenting with some old drafting patterns to bring this era back to life!
