Full description

Well I'm sure it was modern in 1951!

Written by Winifred Parker and Dora Seton this is another technical guide of sorts. Giving instructions and guidance on choosing fabrics for clothing based on it's intended use, occasion, fashion and body shape. It also gives guidance on choosing the style of clothing to best suit different body shapes.

The book then goes through all of the processes involved in dressmaking from choosing the fabrics, through measuring, marking, cutting, fitting and sewing. This book is intended to help make professional quality clothing.
