There is offered in this work not only the result of his own personal study and experiments, but many valuable points gleaned from the various institutions wherein he has taught drafting and designing. This method, while very simple, must be fully understood to be used in an intelligent manner, and with good results. Do not skip over a portion of the work thinking it of no importance, for it is all for a purpose, and' leading to an end which can only be reached by the course herein laid down; it is purely of an educational nature, and there is a reason for each and every move, and if you will learn and fully comprehend that reason, you will have no difficulty in designing any and all garments that will be worn. Style is simply variation, and the designer who will fully master the problems contained in this volume will have no difficulty in drafting patterns for any and all garments that may from time to time be in vogue, for the foundation and principles are herein contained.
