Authentic Victorian Dressmaking Techniques
At the turn of the century, ladies of privilege could easily afford their own dressmakers, and even middle-class housewives occasionally employed competent seamstresses. But many women did their own sewing, often relying on Dressmaking, Up to Date, a how-to book published by the Butterick Publishing Company. First published in 1905 and widely considered the first modern American sewing book, this extremely rare volume is published here complete and unabridged. This Butterick manual provides clear and concise instructions for altering patterns, hand sewing stitches and creating shirt-blouses, skirts, wedding and evening gowns, coats, jackets, and many other articles of apparel. Today's costume historians and sewing enthusiasts will find fascinating instruction in such long-lost arts as boning a bodice perfectly, crating skirt sweepers and bust enhancers, concealing hooks and eyes, and other vintage dressmaking techniques. 144pp. 61/2 x 91/4.
