"Professional tailoring" frees techniques that many hobby tailors assume are either extremely complicated or reserved for professional fashion designers from the aura of mystery. Like all other techniques, they are easy to learn thanks to the clear, simple, step-by-step instructions. Once you have mastered this, the self-sewn garments suddenly look classier and, thanks to sophisticated details, borders or intermediate linings, they also feel that way. Following an overview of various processing techniques and sewing equipment tips, the following couture topics are discussed in six chapters: - bindings and trims that embellish the edges and borders - visible design details and embellishments that transform a garment into couture fashion - hidden design details, that improve comfort and fit - Underlays and interlinings that highlight the properties of luxury fabrics - A guide to the luxury materials used in this book - Essential sewing techniques - the basics of tailoring
