Fashion in Detail

If you're looking for new ideas for embellishment and details that can turn an ordinary garment into an extraordinary one, go to your nearest library and ask them for Avril Hart and Susan North's 'Fashion in Detail'.
The very first plate in the text section is a boned stay (sort of a corset) made of red wool and channel-stitched with white thread to follow the shape of the pieces. Beautiful and adapatable to other pieces.
Or how about an open gown (would make a wonderful robe or coat) with lovely shaped triple knife pleats from a rounded back yoke? Or chemises or shirts with wonderfully shaped seams?
These are garments in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and they're amazing in the styling, construction techniques and details.
Publisher Details:
Rizzoli International Publications, Inc. NY.
