Norah Waugh. THE CUT OF WOMEN’S CLOTHES 1600-1930. Theatre Arts Books, 1985. Fifth Printing. Clothbound with original dustjacket, quarto (11" x 9 in.).

Here are patterns taken from actual dresses, many of them rare museum specimens, illustrated by sketches of the dresses. There are notes on the production of women's dress, with references to early technical books and journals, together with diagrams from some of them. Numerous illustrations show the dresses as worn complete with their hairstyles, jewelry, and accessories. VG cond.
