Give Yourself the
Professional Look
of a Custom Fit
Tailored suits will never go out of style. While certain elements of professional fashion such as the cut of lapels, the length of a jacket, or the use of pleats and cuffs may come and go, the basic look of classically tailored lines and a perfect fit will always survive.
With the Illustrated Guide to Sewing: Tailoring, custom-fit business garments are no longer the special preserve of a professional tailor's shop—they are well within the reach of the home tailor. From selecting and preparing the fabric to laying out the pattern to the final fitting of the garment, this timeless reference will guide you through the entire process of making classically tailored pants and jackets that will become the staples of your wardrobe.
