Description

Pattern Cutting for Men's Costume is a practical
guide featuring patterns for the most important garments worn by men
between the 16th and 19th centuries. Easy-to-follow instructions
explain how to cut patterns for 'average' and individual measurements -
with expert advice on how to adapt patterns to fit men of all shapes
and sizes.


Introductions to each section describe the major developments in
men's dress - revealing how garments evolved - and patterns for period
garments for which there are no actual examples are based on
contemporary paintings. Illustrated throughout with hundreds of
diagrams, this is a much-awaited and valuable addition to the library
of costume-makers in all fields.




  • Features a new system of drafting patterns for men's period costume.

  • Includes patterns for the most important non-fashionable garments

  • Illustrated with hundreds of diagrams accompanied by step-by-step
    instructions for period garments, plus a few versatile theatrical
    designs.
