Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, published in 1876, is a comprehensive guide to the art of designing, drafting, and cutting ladies' and children's clothing. The author, a recognized expert in the field, offers a detailed and systematic approach to the craft, aiming to equip readers with the skills necessary to create fashionable and well-fitting garments. The book's emphasis on meticulous measurement and precise drafting techniques reflects the prevalent Victorian era emphasis on precision and the meticulousness associated with dressmaking at that time. The text utilizes a unique 'miniature method' of drafting, which, according to the author, is designed to simplify instruction and reduce the time needed to acquire essential skills. The author also provides a vocabulary of fashion terms specific to dressmaking, materials, and styles, demonstrating the importance of a shared language within the world of dressmaking. The book goes beyond simply teaching techniques, addressing practical concerns such as the amount of material required for various garments, and the best methods for cutting and fitting. The book's clear instructions and comprehensive approach to dressmaking make it a valuable resource for anyone seeking to master this important and enduring craft.
