Excerpt from The Dress and Cloak Cutter: A Treatise on the Theory and Practice of Cutting Dresses and Overgarments for Ladies, Especially Designed and Adapted for Tailors' Use It is believed that the manner herein adopted of treating the Theory and Practice ofthe cutting of dresses is in a great measure new.
