An open book section showing a photo of a ladies blue gown from 1860-69 and descriptions of its historical context.

A book opening showing technical in garment pattern diagrams and partial drafting instructions.

Short answer: brilliant! Lots of detail, diagrams and explanations. I’m not at the skill level yet to use it, but even that aside it’s still a really interesting read! Definitely recommend it! 🤗
