1910 - 1936 De Gracieuse Corset Patterns

These corset patterns were taken directly from online editions of De Gracieuse magazine. All boning placement and markings are as they are on the original patterns, but the text notations for those markings were too small to read in the scans, so I couldn't include them.  There is no seam allowance included. The patterns are presented below in chronological order, with the original fashion illustration, the full pattern page, and the extracted corset pattern. Most of these patterns have a finished waist of 22-26". 
 
It looks like after 1910, the magazine started offering mail-order patterns. A lot of the corset illustrations include a caption "pattern available in sizes X-Y", but there is no line pattern in the supplement. Some of the pattern supplements in the 1920s also seem to not have been scanned in, so I was unable to get some of the brassiere patterns that were listed in the magazine. I've included everything that I could. The magazine ended publication in 1936, hence the funny end date.
