tailoring, focusing on cutting a variety of garments for both men and
women. It contains diagrams indicating how the fabric should be measured

cutting itself. "A Scientific Guide to Practical Cutting" will be 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.
