A MUST HAVE. This book should be referred to as the 'bible' for any type of sewing, not only for coutour sewing. It contains a wonderful history of couture, as well as precise descriptions and illustrations of the techniques being discussed. I've been sewing for over 40 yrs., have made many formals and wedding gowns, and have learned much from this book. I wish I'd had it many years ago. It will be referenced again and again. A wonderful gift idea for anyone who is learning to sew or has been sewing for ages!
Great book with helpful photos and descriptions, also beautiful techniques.
