About this product

Product Information

Bias-cut Dressmaking is the best easy-to-follow guide to bias-cut clothes. It provides step-by-step instructions and diagrams for making over 40 items of clothing that are cut on the bias. The bias-cut technique is used by designers for cutting clothing to utilize the greater stretch in the bias or diagonal direction of the fabric. This allows the fabric to accentuate body lines and curves and drape softly. Bias-cut garments were an important feature of the designs of Madeleine Vionnet in the 1920s and 1930s but are now timeless. This classic text on the subject includes making skirts, dresses, trousers, eveningwear and even lingerie. You can make a halterneck evening dress, a cowl-necked shift dress, palazzo pants, bias-cut culottes, a cowl camisole, a strapless evening dress or a slightly flared bias skirt. The text is clearly written and laid out, making the beauty and the comfort of bias-cut clothing accessible to those not overly familiar with this type of dressmaking, including fashion students and amateur dressmakers.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • This is the book you want for basic 1930's style pattern drafting

    Absolutely did not know what to expect when I ordered this book. Was very surprised that the content of it was filled with pattern after pattern from making delicate under things to full 1930 era style gowns. For those that are looking on how the dresses from the 1930's were constructed, this is a book you want to have in your sewing library. While I wouldn't exactly suggest this book for the beginner sewer, I would suggest it for anyone who is interested in wanting to learn how to use fabric on the bias and pattern drafting. You could easily use any of these patterns to embellish them further if you have an eye for design. This book would be great for teachers to use in beginning design for fashion college students or those at home who are interested in the 1930 draping style. The ...
