Please like and comment if you purchase one.
Back on Ebay again and seeing more books that I have in my library at not too extortionate of a price. These books will be available in my book store as PDF if they aren't there already. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Art-of-garment-making-by-Tailor-Cutter-A-A-Whife-/334363940733?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m2548.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 I spent hundreds on dollars on this book back when I was living like a rock star in NYC. Its on here for £100 with its dust jacket. I actually have two copies of this book, the second one i bought for £20. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/The-Cutter-s-Practical-Guide-Ladies-Garments-W-D-F-Vincent-1892-/115134993865?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m2548.l6249&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0 I have been considering buy this book all week. I already have two later copies of it. This one has the very ornate cover to it and is from the 1890's. But I am resisting the temptation as my book spending could turn to addiction if I don't watch it. Price has come down about 20% and is being shipped from Australia. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/The-Cutter-s-Practical-Guide-Part-1-Juvenile-and-Youth-s-Garments-1891-/115134992799?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m2548.l6249&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0 From the same seller. Again I have the later version and don't need to add another book that I don't have the time or need to read. Would make a nice addition to anyone library. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tailoring-the-Professional-Way-book-bespoke-tailoring-Savile-Row-/185302511934?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m2548.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 I was strongly considering buying this book until I realised I already owned one. Haven't read it yet, hence the reason I didn't know I owned it. I will add it to my online book store soon. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sizing-Pattern-Construction-Grading-and-Ladies-bespoke-tailoring-book-/185333318661?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m2548.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 I was looking at this one and thinking "these images are so familiar", and yes you guessed it. I already have a copy. Womens tailoring is a different trade to men and need its own research to be certain of success.
These two are gone. Don't let these next ones get away. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ladies-Cutting-and-Making-by-Morris-Tailor-and-Cutter-book-/185337405996?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m2548.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 An absolute must if you are doing womens wear. I have this book in my library and treat it as the bible for womens wear cutting. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/The-science-of-pattern-construction-for-garment-makers-Hardcover-B-W-Poole-/384405426896?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m2548.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 Same book as before with a more realistic price tag. Personally I have two copies and I won't part with either for less than a grand.
