Greetings from ~ > Annabelle's Urban Oasis 1931 Butterick Making Smart Clothes BookModern Methods in Cutting Fitting and Finishing "Frocks should be gay, charming and frivolous and delightful, not grim, haggling, budget bound necessities. Do you want to be just covered, or do you want to be the centre of attraction wherever you go? The choice is in your own hands, and in your own artistry." This book tells how to make smart & modern clothes that flatter you & fit correctly using Butterick patterns and tips on modernizing your wardrobe. Some interesting historical reading. The first few chapters discuss what styles, colors, & patterns women should wear depending on their figures & body types, with blatantly honest, opinionated, & funny comments. No words minced here in describing what is flattering or unflattered for you ladies. It is summed up by: "After all nobody looks like a fashion illustration." The rest of the book has dress making instructions & advice: including how to follow the famous Deltor, a working blueprint, step by step construction, exclusive to Butterick. Instructions on how to adjust patterns, working with different fabrics, the correct way to sew details on dresses of this time period with illustrations, how to update existing frocks, & tips on making smart clothes keep their freshness. Lots of sewing tips. The book is pulled away at the spine & the binding is loose for about the first 10 pages. Except for that, the content pages & cover are in very good condition. Book has almost no wear & has no marks inside. Copyright 1930, by the Butterick Publishing Company, Second Edition, April, 1931.
