I was looking for a book that had more information on couture. I have Susan Khalje and Claire Shaeffer's books and wanted more information on the fabulous world of couture. In this book I found history about couture as well as several articles on fit, fabric, and techniques. It has helped me increase my sewing skills.
A great sewing resource for aspiring couturiers

One of my favorite books. A fascinating combination of history and construction techniques, art and technology. If you've ever been curious about how Chanel constructed her famous boxy jackets (that were still flattering) or who did the embroidery for those amazing Schiaperelli creations - this is for you!
