An illustrated fashion-and-sewing-pattern album issued directly by the Fashion Department (Отдел мод) of GUM, the Soviet Union's flagship state department store on Red Square, whose in-house design studio functioned as a mass-market counterpart to the more exclusive Moscow and All-Union Fashion Houses (ОДМО). Aimed at home dressmakers, the album presents 22 numbered garment designs, together with 15 further model variants (37 designs in total), each credited to a named GUM staff designer and pattern constructor. Every model is accompanied by a scaled construction diagram (1:10), a fabric-consumption specification, and instructions for enlarging the pattern to full size, reflecting the centralized "build-it-yourself" character of Soviet consumer fashion publishing, in which access to finished ready-to-wear garments was limited and home sewing from published patterns was a standard practice. The fashion plates themselves, boldly rendered in flat gouache-style color with the exaggerated shoulders, cinched belts, and graphic silhouettes typical of the late-1980s Perestroika-era Soviet fashion press, are of independent interest as examples of Soviet commercial fashion illustration at the close of the socialist period. Ephemeral by nature and typically discarded once its patterns were used, the album is now of interest to collectors of Soviet design ephemera, historians of Eastern Bloc consumer culture, and vintage-pattern enthusiasts.
