This classic 1901 guide to cutting ladies' tailor-made garments provided professional dressmakers with a wealth of useful information. One of the reasons seamstresses found it invaluable was the special attention paid to "small waists," "large front hips," and the "corpulent form." Further enhanced with a new introduction by fashion authority Kristina Harris, this volume will prove indispensable to anyone attempting to recreate authentic clothing for costume parties and theatrical productions. The book will also be of great interest to students and enthusiasts of costume history. By S.S. Gordon, with a new introduction by Kristina Harris. Paperback, 186 pages.
