Couture Sewing by Claire B. Shaeffer
A practical, richly illustrated guide that teaches traditional couture construction through clear, step-by-step techniques—hand stitching, pad-stitching and tailoring methods, precise pressing and fitting, underlining and lining, boning and internal supports, and refined seam and edge finishes—so sewists can achieve professional, lasting garments. Packed with close-up photographs, diagrams and advice on fabrics, tools and pattern alteration, it explains not only how to execute each technique but why it’s used and how to adapt couture methods for everything from eveningwear to tailored jackets. Ideal for intermediate-to-advanced sewists who want museum-quality results and an understanding of couture standards.
