Title: Ladies' Garments and How to Make Them. A practical treatise on the art of sewing, pressing & other details ... as employed by tailors ... by "Several Experts" ...
Description: London, John Williamson [c1894]. Octavo publisher's gilt decorated red cloth; [8],80pp, several illustrations and diagrams. Minor signs of use, a rather good copy. ¶ A slender book maybe, but so packed with information that I wonder how Williamson thought they could justify all the other tailoring books and magazines they published. I can only find much later versions of this - and not many of those - in OCLC and Copac.
