"This book is intended to help the complete beginner in pattern cutting - the 'A' level needlework student, the first year college student, and the keen and experienced amateur dressmaker who wishes to progress to making her own patterns. The book is designed to explain and illustrated the principles underlying pattern cutting, not simply as a reference book from which complete dress sytles may be copied. Successful pattern cutting depends on analyzing the design into its component parts and adapting each part step-by-step until the pattern is complete. In line with this, most of the illustrations show how to cut only one area of the pattern and several adaptations must be combined to produce the complete pattern.
