Book on CD*

Birth of a Bustier by Kenneth D King


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.

*PC and Mac compatible, this CD book uses Adobe Acrobat Reader, which you can download for free from Adobe.
