BRIDAL COUTURE, a CD book by Susan Khalje
[sk-bridalcouture]
|
Fine Sewing Techniques for Wedding Gowns and Evening Wear
The apparently effortless grace of a successful gown is always underpinned by solid dressmaking skills--the skills described in Bridal Couture.
Starting with a portfolio of breathtaking gowns designed and sewn by the author, Bridal Couture covers all the major techniques used to sew these sumptuous couture creations, including choosing fabric, working with lace, creating a muslin, and problem-solving tricky construction issues. Every conceivable style of skirt, sleeve, and bodice is included, as well as suggestions for fabric combinations to evoke just the right mood. A final section details the construction of four actual gowns, giving readers a
chance to apply what they've learned.
Ideal as a wish book for brides, a textbook for sewing students, a reference book for dressmakers, or a companion book for anyone hiring a dressmaker, Bridal Couture is finally a book about fashion and the
practical knowledge needed to create fantasy.
