Description

"Now you can have a whole wardrobe of exactly your kind of clothes -- as extreme or conservative as you like -- in exactly your kind of colors -- wild or subdued -- in exactly your kind of fabric -- silk jersey or homespun -- and in exactly your size, whether it's 10 above the waist and 12 below or 12 above and 10 below. (Practically nobody's a perfect size, you know -- that's the main reason the authors wrote this book!) Clear, concise instructions and virtually self-explanatory two-color drawings take you step-by-step through these four fundamental procedures: 1. Establishing your essential measurements; 2. Making 4 basic paper pattern pieces corresponding to your measurements; 3. Transferring your paper pattern to muslin and cutting them out; and 4. Basting your muslin pieces into a bodice and a skirt and fitting them."
