## Description

Buy Couture Tailoring: A Construction Guide for Women's Jackets Illustrated by Shaeffer, Claire (ISBN: 9781786275752) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: Aspiring tailors and dedicated home sewers. - Very thorough guide to couture methods - such detail. I bought the Kindle version and I'm glad I did.
Review: A tremendous reference book. - Although this book is aimed at making a jacket the information in it relates to many sewing applications. It gives great information on sewing techniques, tailoring techniques and materials used which would also relate to any sewing project. The book talks you through making a jacket from choosing the design and materials and all the way through the construction process. The illustrations are extremely clear and are placed alongside great written instructions and descriptions. I was a bit on the fence about buying another sewing book but I am so glad I purchased this book, it is one I will go back to time and time again, and I have already picked up some tips and tricks and I am only on page 97 of 350! Definitely a worthwhile addition to my library.
