It's called "Birth
of a Bustier". Kenneth writes:
If you've ever
made strapless garments, or high-faced waistbands, you will
know how difficult it is to make a garment that stays in position, and
performs reliably. So, I've expanded on an article I wrote for Threads Magazine, and produced this CD book! People sometimes ask,"I don't make
evening wear, why do I need this information?" It is precisely the high
faced waistband. It is in a sense, a very short strapless garment, one that
doesn't go over the bust.
After a brief
introduction in the book, I cover first, the steps to get a
well-fitting pattern for a strapless garment. This, as you know, is key to
the process. (I use The Moulage, so if you don't have that CD, it is
recommended.)
From there, I
cover the materials needed for this type of construction,
along with a resource list.
From there, I
cover two types of construction--Bustier construction, and
corselet construction. A section on how to adapt this information to make
the high-faced-waistband is also included.
There are 141
pages, with many illustrations in the pattern making section,
and many color photos in the construction section, taking you through all
the steps to create a garment that performs reliably and fits perfectly.
