Review: Clearly a labor of love and a gift to the home sewing community. There are twelve pages showing the various shapes of women’s jackets, from man-tailored to feminine stylings. It is full of detailed information on patterns and construction. I am really in awe of this book, as someone studying tailoring for women’s jackets, this book is pretty much a dream come true,
Review: This book is the bible for anyone interested in high-quality women's jacket construction. Shaeffer discusses all aspects and reveals information you won't find anywhere else. For example, she uses various couture jackets to demonstrate the different approaches to interfacing. Or there's a detailed chapter on final pressing. Everything clearly illustrated with diagrams and photographs. It's a book for purists, as it contains no shortcuts or glued interfacing and offers little advice on fit. It focuses solely on the meticulous craftsmanship of a well-fitting garment. And that, however, is executed to perfection.

E' un libro molto dettagliato sulle tecniche di sartoria da utilizzare nella creazione delle giacche. Insegna proprio tutto dalle basi, ad eccezione della modellistica. Dà anche tante idee sui particolari diversi che rendono il modello interessante ed unico; spiega la lavorazione di tutti i tipi di tasche, di spacchi, il davanti e il dietro, i colli, tutto. E' in inglese, tocca andare a cercarsi i termini tecnici. Mi è piaciuto talmente che ho ordinato, della stessa autrice, quello sulle giacche chanel e quello sulle trim fai da te. Aggiungo che oltre ad essere utile è anche un volume particolarmente bello e lussuoso, si prende in mano e dà soddisfazione solo vederlo. Se qualcuno fosse in dubbio se prendere questo o un libro di cucito tradizionale (tipo quello di Burda ad esempio) sono cose diverse. Qui spiegano proprio come fare il capo perfetto, senza nessuna scorciatoia; poi uno sceglie se seguire o no, ma almeno si sa che l'alta moda fa così (e si comincia a comprendere il perchè dei prezzi che a chi non sa cosa c'è dietro possono sembrare assurdi). Insomma, consigliato a chi vuole perfezionarsi nell'arte della giacca.
