Classic Clothes

by ReneBergh (Author)

Synopsis

Simple, well-cut clothes are the making of fashion legends. "Classic Clothes" demonstrates how colour, cloth and cut are the essence of a smart, stylish garment. With advice on how to analyze your own figure and correct methods for measuring your body, this book aims to enable readers to customize patterns to create clothes that fit their figures, and not just standard sizes. The main section of the book covers pattern-making and garment construction, featuring clear step-by-step instructions and colour illustrations showing how to adapt patterns and sew garments to personal measurements. Focusing on individual areas of the body, such as the shoulders, necklines, bust, sleeves and hips, this book should enable you to create your own bespoke wardrobe at a fraction of the retail cost.
