This is a softcover printing of our popular book The Diamond Garment Cutter Book of Patterns 1891 to 1896. The book is a collection of 101 unique sewing pattern diagrams that are designed to be scaled with the included rulers into full-sized sewing patterns.
The book includes 37 color plates from fashion magazines of the era, as well as detailed descriptions of fashions worn at the time, the fabrics and trims used to make them, and their construction details. Every effort has been made to replicate as closely as possible the experience of the 1890s dressmaker and home seamstress to help you make the most historically accurate clothing possible with modern ease.
Edited and with additional materials by Anna M. Depew.
