Couture Sewing Techniques

Im impressed with the kind of information that is jam-packed in this book.Ms schaffer has really given hands down indepth information about western couture sewing.Im sure the techniques can be applied to Indian wear in the same fashion.Every detail is done by hand,with accompanying diagrams,not pictures mind you,but the reader gets the overall picture.Since Indian wear is all about intricate hands work,this book should go down well with the techniques involved here.Mind you,this book is not about hand embroidery,but how the final design is sewn.

I love Claire Schaeffer's books. In this book she has really explained Couture in depth and in the real sense. I have not yet found a book like this. She points out to work done by great designers like Madeleine Vionnet and the like. Thank you Claire.

It is the worse book ever on techniques of sewing..little disappointed with Amazon too as they didn't accept my request for returning it.please don't buy this book everyone...Total waste of money!!!

I like it
