Editorial Review: Product Description: Starting with hand sewing - the basis for every haute couture garment - expert Claire Shaeffer guides the reader through the steps to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. She presents the sewing techniques practiced in the studios of such legendary designers as Dior, Chanel, Givenchy, and Balenciaga. Detailed instructions and illustrations make high style a snap. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great for anyone who sewsThis was a great book. I wanted to understand what "Courture" sewing is and realized I have done it for years. I also learned some better stitches and methods from this book as well as an appreciation for the "art" of sewing. It makes me sad that sewing is no longer taught in schools since I spent a lot of time in middle school and high school sewing. Rating:  - referenceThis book I liked. I am an accompliced dressmaker with tailoring experience. I like this as a reference book and also found some handy tips in it. Lucie Zandstra Rating: - Like a text book of informationThe introduction is interesting and basically explains why Shaffer is qualified to give you this information. The rest reads like a text book, which, for me, is much easier. When I reach a road block with sewing, I simply refer to the applicable section and determine what stitch, seam, technique would best solve the issue. There are decent diagrams/pictures to walk you through each step. It discusses each type of seam, tools and their purpose, threads, needles, etc. It's a sewing dictionary. ...

It provides an excellent overview of couture sewing technique. Rating:  - Not much of illustrationactually this book is a complete... the flaw is the illustration is not much...and the words are like written all in sub-chapter...it's not like a handbook... i think for sewing books, illustration is important...
