Synopsis
Fashion historian Claire B. Shaeffer has opened the door to the
exclusive realm of haute couture in her authoritative guide to the
techniques that define couture sewing. And now, the industry bible,
Couture Sewing Techniques, has been revised and updated with new photos
and a chapter on specialty fabrics. No one can unravel couture garment
construction the way Schaeffer can, from the art of hand sewing to
mastering edge finishes, from classic closures to shaping a garment for a
perfect fit. Sewers of all skill levels with an interest in fashion
sewing will learn the basics for skirts and sleeves, pockets and
jackets, evening gowns and more, as well as, most importantly, how to
apply the techniques. Gorgeous photos, clear illustrations and concise
language combine to make this the most complete couture-sewing course
available.
