Reseña del editor

This vintage book contains a complete and comprehensive handbook on cutting garments, originally intended for tailors. It covers every aspect of the subject, with chapters on designing, drawings, mathematics and measurements, tools, and much more. This timeless volume will appeal to modern tailors and designers, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "Science", "Gravitation", "Human Equilibrium, Equipoise of Balance", "The Mechanism of the Human Frame", "The Principles of Plane Geometry", "The Plane Geometry of the Human Figure", "Suggestions RE Aesthetics, Designing and Drawing", "Suggestions Re Geometry, Trigonometry, Arithmetic and Mathematics, Generally", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
