Altering Ready-To-Wear Fashions (A Bennett career book)
ALTERING READY-TO-WEAR FASHIONS is a complete, illustrated guide covering every step involved in alterations for men's and women's ready-to-wear garments. The authors describe commercial sewing methods to give the reader an understanding of how a garment was put together so it will be easier to take it apart and make changes in a professional manner. They discuss the necessary equipment, tools, supplies, techniques, and all aspects of fabric-fibers, yarns, construction of fabric, finishes, and trimming. Special emphasis is given to hemming and finishing touches (trims, buttons, zippers, hand stitches) since these are involved in perhaps the most common alterations.The authors also discuss career opportunities-how to go about looking for a job with a store or manufacturer; how to establish one's own business and organize a work schedule-thus making the book complete as a reference for people wishing to pursue a career in the field and for people already in the business.
