Hatfield offers complete patterns of 19th century styles, including the Congress boot, and Dongola boot, for men'¿¿s, women'¿¿s, and children'¿¿s shoes with technical instructions for making shoe patterns in styles and methods developed throughout the 19th century. Many techniques explained are still used today for creating a pattern '¿¿forme'¿¿ or'¿¿ standard'¿¿, which is copied and cut into other patterns and designs. Hatfield explains pattern '¿¿grading'¿¿ for size and '¿¿springing'¿¿ (or '¿¿spriting'¿¿) of pattern parts to '¿¿fit'¿¿ the last curves without gaps or extra material. Hand-drawn patterns are hand-labeled and all patterns are original size.Cresson, L.
