About this product
Nothing epitomizes the look of the 1950s more for women that the hour-glass silhouette of the tightly fitted bodice and full skirt. This ubiquitous style - first introduced in 1947 with Dior's New Look - was so widely adopted by the mid-50s that it came to define the decade.
This practical book introduces and explores the styles and construction techniques used in the 1950s. Step-by-step instructions and photographs demonstrate how to achieve a well-finished and authentic look using equipment easily obtainable at home.
Chapters explain the processes from fabric selection, cutting out and preparation through to garment assembly using traditional techniques for creating the silhouette of the day.
Step-by-step instructions and close-up photos of key stages of the construction process
Photographs and analysis of original pieces from private collections and museum archives
Scaled patterns tht have been standardized to a modern size 12 and can be graded up and down in size
Patterns and instructions for making your own bullet bra and girdle
Each project includes a materials and equipment list and a section on specialist stockists and suppliers
Additional chapters include practical advice on measuring and fitting, and how to create the '50s look
