Synopsis

First published in 1873, this vintage book contains a detailed guide to tailoring, focusing on cutting a variety of garments for both men and women. It contains diagrams indicating how the fabric should be measured and cut, as well as detailed explanations and directions for doing the cutting itself. "A Scientific Guide to Practical Cutting" will be of utility to those with an interest in tailoring or making their own cost-effective clothing. Contents include: "How to Measure", "Description of Plate I", " Description of Plate II", " Description of Plate III", " Description of Plate IV", " Description of Plate V", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on dressmaking and tailoring.
