Synopsis
Excerpt from Weir's Balance and Proof Measure System, for Cutting Coats: Calculated to Fit All Variety of Shapes, With Unerring Certainty
Neither the Third or any other breast measure system, is a good guide to fitting, nor ever will be, until all mankind grow in one uniform shape. The trade has, notwithstanding, gained great benefit from certain systems, and they are worthy of preser vation. Should every other revolution in the art be productive of as much good, we may hepe to see the tme, when the employment of bushelmen will be confined to repairing.

Weir's Balance and Proof Measure System, for Cutting Coats (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an introduction to a system of measuring and drafting for garment cutting, which the author claims is superior to any published method. The author argues that previous systems, based on breast measurements, are not reliable because they do not account for the diversity of body shapes. The system outlined in this book, however, uses a combination of measurements, including shoulder and balance measurements, to create a more accurate and customized fit. It provides detailed instructions on how to take these measurements and use them to draft a garment pattern. The system is designed to be easy to use, even for beginners, and the author claims that it can be used to create a well-fitting garment without the need for multiple fittings or alterations. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333338725_0
