The Keystone System: A Text-Book on Cutting and Designing Ladies Garments (Classic Reprint)

By Charles Hecklinger

Book Overview

Excerpt from The Keystone System: A d104-Book on Cutting and Designing Ladies Garments

But the system taught in this work is emphatically a direct measure system and the measures are expected to, and will, if correctly taken and applied, produce all points of a garment in harmony with the form, whether it is short and stout, or tall and slim. If, however, doubt should at any time or for any reason arise as to the accuracy of a measure, the table of sizes may be consulted and the light it will throw on the subject will be of special value.

All the drafts given in this work are accurately drawn, and are so clearly and fully explained as to make self-instruction easy and thoroughly reliable.
