Enid Beatrice Gilchrist OAM (died 17 October 2007, age 90) was an Australian fashion designer, who became well known for her numerous self-drafting sewing pattern books which were very popular in the 1950s to 1970s. In 1953 she was one of the judges of a competition for wool fashions with a parade of the finalists run by the Royal Melbourne Show. While her books were published without dates, they can be grouped by reference to the decimalization of Australian currency in 1966, demonstrated by the price on the cover.

has abstract	Enid Beatrice Gilchrist OAM (died 17 October 2007, age 90) was an Australian fashion designer, who became well known for her numerous self-drafting sewing pattern books which were very popular in the 1950s to 1970s. Enid studied dress design at Melbourne Technical College (now Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology) and during World War II worked as a dressmaker for a pattern firm. She worked with the Victorian Infant Welfare Department and the Kindergarten Union to produce a series of patterns for babies and young children. She later taught dress design at Footscray Technical College and the Emily Mcpherson College. Enid began to make patterns using a pattern-drafting method. These patterns were published in The Argus from 1946 onward into the 1950s. They were also published in The News (Adelaide) in 1953. Her pattern drafting techniques were collected in books that were sold widely across Australia. The first editions sold out and they went into multiple printings. In the early 1950s she also lectured widely to suburban state school mothers clubs, church groups and Red Cross auxiliaries in Melbourne, featuring the clothes that she designed and using local children as models. She later joined New Idea magazine, where she published articles and patterns and produced sewing books showing clothes which people could make up from the pattern drafts. In 1953 she was one of the judges of a competition for wool fashions with a parade of the finalists run by the Royal Melbourne Show. While her books were published without dates, they can be grouped by reference to the decimalization of Australian currency in 1966, demonstrated by the price on the cover.
