The art of couture sewing by Zoya Nudelman is a new book that is now available for loan from the Learning Centre.
"The Art of Couture Sewing is a practical guide to the fine construction practices used in couture workrooms. Beginning with a brief history of couture, this book provides fully illustrated instructions on constructing a couture dress from start to finish. It covers tools and supplies, stitching the different kind of closures, and draping techniques used in designing shirts, skirts, and dresses. It also includes discussion of corsetry and executing accurate stitches. After reading this book, students will understand the various haute couture methods, particularly how these methods affect design decisions and relate to the quality of these very special garments." -- back cover
