Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this practical guide, Michelle Pye demystifies the process of making a handmade jacket. As an experienced bespoke tailor and teacher, she explains each step of the process from making a toile for fitting, cutting out, inserting the pockets, the application of the sleeves and collar, through to hand finishing and pressing the jacket. Much emphasis is placed on the preparation stage and then the alteration steps to ensure you get a fantastic fit. As well as explaining tailoring terms, Ladies Couture Tailoring warns of common mistakes and describes the techniques of the trade – such as using a clapper to absorb steam or shrinking out fullness to make the sleeve easier to put in – so you can enjoy making your jacket as much as wearing it. It is a rare opportunity to learn from an experienced tailor keen to share her skills and advise you throughout with her personal tips.
Download or read book The Routledge Companion to Design Studies written by Penny Sparke and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-17 with total page 717 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1990s, in response to dramatic transformations in the worlds of technology and the economy, design - a once relatively definable discipline, complete with a set of sub-disciplines - has become unrecognizable. Consequently, design scholars have begun to address new issues, themes and sub-disciplines such as: sustainable design, design for well-being, empathic design, design activism, design anthropology, and many more. The Routledge Companion to Design Studies charts this new expanded spectrum and embraces the wide range of scholarship relating to design - theoretical, practice-related and historical - that has emerged over the last four decades. Comprised of forty-three newly-commissioned essays, the Companion is organized into the following six sections: Defining Design: Discipline, Process Defining Design: Objects, Spaces Designing Identities: Gender, Sexuality, Age, Nation Designing Society: Empathy, Responsibility, Consumption, the Everyday Design and Politics: Activism, Intervention, Regulation Designing the World: Globalization, Transnationalism, Translation Contributors include both established and emerging scholars and the essays offer an international scope, covering work emanating from, and relating to, design in the United Kingdom, mainland Europe, North America, Asia, Australasia and Africa. This comprehensive collection makes an original and significant contribution to the field of Design Studies.

Download or read book Cutting for All written by Kevin L. Seligman and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Containing 2,729 entries, Kevin L. Seligman’s bibliography concentrates on books, manuals, journals, and catalogs covering a wide range of sartorial approaches over nearly five hundred years. After a historical overview, Seligman approaches his subject chronologically, listing items by century through 1799, then by decade. In this section, he deals with works on flat patterning, draping, grading, and tailoring techniques as well as on such related topics as accessories, armor, civil costumes, clerical costumes, dressmakers’ systems, fur, gloves, leather, military uniforms, and undergarments. Seligman then devotes a section to those American and English journals published for the professional tailor and dressmaker. Here, too, he includes the related areas of fur and undergarments. A section devoted to journal articles features selected articles from costume- and noncostumerelated professional journals and periodicals. The author breaks these articles down into three categories: American, English, and other. Seligman then devotes separate sections to other related areas, providing alphabetical listings of books and professional journals for costume and dance, dolls, folk and national dress, footwear, millinery, and wigmaking and hair. A section devoted to commercial pattern companies, periodicals, and catalogs is followed by an appendix covering pattern companies, publishers, and publications. In addition to full bibliographic notation, Seligman provides a library call number and library location if that information is available. The majority of the listings are annotated. Each listing is coded for identification and cross-referencing. An author index, a title index, a subject index, and a chronological index will guide readers to the material they want. Seligman’s historical review of the development of publications on the sartorial arts, professional journals, and the commercial paper pattern industry puts the bibliographical material into context. An appendix provides a cross-reference guide for research on American and English pattern companies, publishers, and publications. Given the size and scope of the bibliography, there is no other reference work even remotely like it.

This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Parisian Ladies' Tailoring System for Designing, Pattern Cutting, Fitting and Making Waists, Skirts, Dresses, Suits and All Outer Garments: A Means of Self Education and a Guide for Educational Instruction in Trade Schools and Domestic Science Instructions With Over 100 Explanatory Drawings in d104, Including Four Supplementary Charts 22 X 28 Inches of Full Size Patterns and Grading Instructi Every woman's ambition is to be at least as perfectly gowned as her neighbor. The secret of correct gowning lies in the correct fit of the garment to the individual figure of the wearer. We know that the styles change frequently from season to season, but we must bear in mind that the underlying principle is the "Fundamental Pattern" the so-called "Basque," and after we have this, we are able to execute any desired style according variations in vogue. Many of our Cutting Academies, however, which still cling to "Old Worn Out System" make a number of body measurements the basis of their instructions and graduate their pupils with a stock of stereotyped patterns in hand, and numerous sets of figures in mind, of which memory soon makes a jumble. Some of our tailors and dressmakers in consequence make the sad mistake of attempting to use one pattern for all figures, without discrimination. They reason that all that is needed is a little "taking in," or a "little letting out" of the original pattern in order to make it conform to the slim or stout figures of their patrons. As actual trial soon convinces them of the incorrectness of their work, and of the impossibility of fitting individual figures in this fashion, they are compelled to waste not only their time and labor in making necessary alterations, but also wear out the patience of their patrons, and in the end they turn out garments which are seldom perfect fitting, comfortable and chic. For several years there has been a widespread demand for some rational course in Pattern Designing. The author, through long years of experience in foreign countries, and for years in New York with one of the largest wholesale houses as designer and pattern cutter in ladies' wearing apparel of all descriptions, has planned this book to serve as a basis for such a course. At the same time its careful omission of all technical expressions, and its plain, simple language cannot fail to recommend it as "A Self Instructor" to home dressmakers who desire well fitting clothes. In pattern designing there are three important considerations to bear in mind: 1) That all figures are fundamentally similar. 2) That no two human figures are exactly alike. 3) That styles vary with the seasons. Hence the author has sought to explain first, the making of a Fundamental Pattern, and secondly, all changes of form and style that can be made by modification of this pattern. It is certain therefore, that this book will be a boon to those who give instruction in dressmaking courses, to thousands who have chosen dressmaking as a profession, and also to the home dressmaker.
