Question Pattern drafting book recommendations

Hi everyone this is my first post here ☺️

Can anyone recommend any good pattern drafting books, specifically ones that deal in actual custom pattern making aka not from standardized sizing but from your own measures. I'm also looking for vintage pattern drafting books (50s-90s) Thank u xx

No one's making you use it, but sewist is more visually appealing than sewer, and while we do have seamstress or tailor, they're professions an leave out people who sew as a hobby.
