Product Description
Mr Holding was one of the most renowned tailors of his day and his tailoring systems are known for being easy to follow and comprehensive. In this work, instructions are included for both the 'leg o' mutton' sleeve, and the new slimmer sleeve. Such attention to detail makes Holding's systems valuable to the costumer and historian alike. In addition, the attitudes expressed about women and their new-found sense of freedom in the wearing of sportswear will be of historical interest. Includes patterns and instructions for jackets, skirts, coats, capes, riding and cycling clothes and many pages of braiding diagrams used extensively for trim. Additional illustrations cover accessories and underclothes. This book is valuable to the costumer and historian alike.
