Description
The "Keystone" Jacket and Dress Cutter is a comprehensive guide to women's tailoring from 1895. During the late Victorian era, women wore opulent fashions featuring silks and satins, but by the end of the nineteenth century, their tastes in fashion were changing to accommodate new lifestyles. As more women entered the workforce and took up sports like tennis, golf, and cycling, tailored suits with full skirts and fitted jackets became a staple. This guide provides over eighty patterns for garments such as office outfits, riding pants, shirtwaists, and bolero jackets, along with instructions on fabric choices and measurement, fitting, cutting, and sewing. Supplemented with newly captioned illustrations from The Delineator magazine, this volume will be a valuable reference for costume designers and fashion historians, offering a fascinating glimpse into the past.
