About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from The Parisian Tailor Complete Instructor and Practical Guide to Ladies' Tailoring

Every lady should possess the knowledge and art of garment cutting: for though they may never have occasion to use a needle or thimble, they should know the form their body requires the pattern to be cut in order to produce a satisfactory fitting garment, as it gives a lady unlimited field for design, and brings the art of dress designing and making within easy reach. To the lady who de sires to make her own garments and those of her family; the teacher who desires to instruct her class: the dressmaker who has to work for all forms and ages.
