Pattern Cutting for Men's Costume (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781408100066)

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
  (worn from the 16th to the 19th centuries) plus clothes in vogue from
  the middle of the 16th to the end of the 18th centuries.


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