This is a small, but very useful book showing how traditional garments were cut to use the woven material optimally. The cutting diagrammes do not have measurements, but this should not be a problem - in fact this allows for differences in sizes of people and fabrics. Anyone spinning and weaving their own fabrics will appreciate the way these garments are designed.
More than 550 terms defined with most entries showing French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Swedish equivalents.
