About This Book

A practical tailoring manual that presents a systematic method of garment cutting based on geometric bases and precise angular measurements. Diagrams constructed from both the center of a circle and a square corner demonstrate construction across many angles, with special attention to paired fifteen-degree wedges and shoulder slope, and detailed treatment of gores, wedges and body spreads. All calculations use horizontal, perpendicular and parallel measures to prioritize fit while allowing fashionable elements to be adapted to the permanent bases. Rooted in decades of workshop experience and iterative testing, the text stresses careful study, fitting adjustments, and reproducible procedures rather than fixed stylistic rules.
