Little is known about Maria Lutterloh herself, but the dressmaking method she pioneered survives to this day under the brand name Luttlerloh System International: ÒIn 1935, Maria Agienberger Lutterloh had a vision. Drawing from the profound beauty and balance of the Golden Ratio, she devised an ingenious system for dressmaking. This wasn't just any methodÑit was a revelation, allowing dressmakers to craft customized patterns from a single template, all inspired by this timeless proportionÉ Today, Lutterloh System International stands as a beacon for those who seek the perfect fusion of art and function. Dive deep with us into this world where the Golden Ratio is not just a principleÑit's a promise of unparalleled beauty and precisionÓ (Lutterloh System International, The Golden Rule page). 8 x 6 in.

An illustrated manual, translated from the German, on the Lutterloh System, a method of pattern-cutting created by Maria Lutterloh in the 1930s based on The Golden Ratio. From the title page: ÒFrom the earliest times artists, painters and sculptors have applied their special units fo measure for the proportions of the human body Ð and also in architecture. The classical measure is the golden rule (sectio aurea). The golden rule is considered the origin and the source of all beauty and harmony in the entire universe. What music is to the ear, so is the measurement of the golden rule to the eye.Ó Contents include prefatory essays on ÒHow to Dress from the Morning to the EveningÓ and ÒThe Art of Cutting,Ó followed by over 100 pages of charming, illustrated dress figures, and a further 200-plus pages of cutting/sewing diagrams.
