This title includes gorgeous photos, clear illustrations & concise language make this the most complete couture-sewing course available. Fashion historian Claire B. Shaeffer has opened the door to the exclusive realm of haute couture in her authoritative guide to the techniques that define couture sewing. And now, the industry bible, "Couture Sewing Techniques", has been revised and updated with new photos and a chapter on specialty fabrics. No one can unravel couture garment construction the way Schaeffer can, from the art of hand sewing to mastering edge finishes, from classic closures to shaping a garment for a perfect fit. Sewers of all skill levels with an interest in fashion sewing will learn the basics for skirts and sleeves, pockets and jackets, evening gowns and more, as well as, most importantly, how to apply the techniques. Review: Good book to make clothes beautiful both inside and out. - Im impressed with the kind of information that is jam-packed in this book.Ms schaffer has really given hands down indepth information about western couture sewing.Im sure the techniques can be applied to Indian wear in the same fashion.Every detail is done by hand,with accompanying diagrams,not pictures mind you,but the reader gets the overall picture.Since Indian wear is all about intricate hands work,this book should go down well with the techniques involved here.Mind you,this book is not about hand embroidery,but how the final design is sewn. Review: Love this book. Truly Couture explained well! - I love Claire Schaeffer's books. In this book she has really explained Couture in depth and in the real sense. I have not yet found a book like this. She points out to work done by great designers like Madeleine Vionnet and the like. Thank you Claire.

very useful information not found anywhere else
I like to sew by hand, and since couture still does a lot of handsewing there was a treasure trove on tips I hadn't found anywhere else. Also, I am used to very high quality clothes and I was always dissappointed with the quality of my finished sewing products. After reading this book I now know exactly what I did wrong and how to improve. I can highly reccomend this book, especially for hand sewers, but also for everyone else who wants to sew clothes of better quality.

Great book
I'm quite new to sewing but have found some of the tips in the book exrtremely useful. It would be useful to have some more photos to go with the instruction but I've managed to successfully follow the instructions for a gaping neckline and was extremely pleased with the results. Looking forward to using it to further improve my sewing skills.

très bon livre
Le livre et assurément excellent mais pas très pratique à manipuler dans la couture quotidienne, il est destiné àune couturière avertie, pour élargir sa culture des techniques . il ne convient pas pour une débutante.
