As the cover text explains, of the 22 numbered base models, each accompanied by a scaled (1:10) construction diagram at the rear of the album, further model-variants could be assembled by combining elements of the base patterns, extending the effective range of designs available to the home dressmaker. The garments themselves, rendered in the same graphic, sharply tailored illustrative style seen across the GUM series (broad shoulders, cinched belts, geometric color-blocking typical of Soviet fashion drawing in the second half of the 1980s), were specifically cut and styled for larger body types rather than simply scaled up from standard-size patterns, reflecting an explicit, if still marginal, acknowledgment within Soviet state fashion production of plus-size consumers. Each model credits its individual staff designer (авторы, e.g. Л. Аверьянова) and pattern constructor by name, continuing the same collective-authorship convention as other GUM Fashion Department publications. Ephemeral by nature and typically discarded once its patterns were used, the album is of interest today both to collectors of Soviet design ephemera and fashion-industry historians, and specifically to those researching the history of plus-size and inclusive design within centrally planned consumer economies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44527506227242,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/IMG_6339.jpg?v=1783024322","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/gum-fashion-models-models-for-full-figured-women-sewing-pattern-album-gum-fashion-department-headed-by-v-d-ilyina-1987-in-russian","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
