Title: Superb even after 90+ years
Product review: For a book that is so out of date (my copy is from 1916), it is remarkably current for those who want to make clothing at home that does not look home made. Not only does it cover pattern drafting and clothing construction methods, but it also goes into appropriate fabrics and design elements. There is a chapter covering embellishment in the form of embroidery, as well as what we know today as French Hand Sewing. While the cost per yard of fabrics listed can only be dreamed of today, I refer to this book even more often than my beloved and well used Vogue Sewing. A treat for the eyes, not only for those who want well constructed garments for themselves, but also for those who want to make quality clothing for antique dolls. Wonderful all around. It even touches on color analysis - pretty amazing for a book almost a hundred years old.
