About this product

Product Information

Norah Waugh's book has, for many years, been the definitive work of reference for teachers and students of fashion design, for dress designers, for costume makers - and anyone who is seriously interested in the history and construction of women's clothes.Each period in the history of costume has produced its own characteristic line and silhouette, and the book includes numerous patterns taken from actual dresses, many of them rare museum specimens, illustrated by line sketches of the garments themselves. There are detailed notes on the production of women's dress with diagrams from and references to early technical books and journals.

  • Exellent resource book! Great read!

    The Cut of Womens Clothes is a fantastic book! Full of great patterns and compelling information on dress of the time, as well as personal letters etc discussing dress. My only complaint is that more modern reproductions of this book do not contain the same quality of print for the photographs and prints. The pictures are not as sharp and as full of contrast. This has no bearing upon the rest of the book, or the clothes patterns, which are just the same. I recommend this book to seamstresses and anyone interested in fashion and history.
