Authentic Victorian Dressmaking Techniques

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This vintage how-to manual—the first modern American sewing book—provided turn-of-the-century seamstresses with clear instructions for altering patterns, hand-sewing stitches, and creating shirt-blouses, skirts, wedding and evening gowns, coats, maternity wear, undergarments, children’s clothing and other apparel. Today’s sewing enthusiasts will learn about such lost arts as boning a bodice, creating bust enhancers and other time-honored techniques. An indispensable archive for costume historians and anyone interested in replicating the fashions of yesteryear.
