Integrating text, photographs, and a companion DVD, Tailoring Techniques for Fashion covers traditional and contemporary design and construction methods for tailored garments from ready-to-wear
to couture details. Live demonstrations and hundreds of photographs illustrate step-by-step instructions for constructing a tailored skirt, trousers, jacker, and design details using
traditional fusible machine, and mass-production methods. A history of the tailoring profession and a survey of contemporary tailoring business practices place these techniques in a
professional context.
