The cutters' practical guide to the cutting of ladies' garments..
A trade manual by W. D. F. Vincent, published in London by J. Williamson around 1890, teaching tailors to draft and cut women's coats, bodices and cloaks. Plates show flat pattern pieces in grey wash with numbered construction lines, dotted alterations and hand-lettered captions, plus small figures of fitted jackets — usable as diagram shapes, ornate lettering and technical line work.
