The term 'tailored' has changed as methods of manufacture and the
retailing of clothes have evolved. This book demonstrates the wide
range of cutting methods used to produce garments which are
described as 'tailored' jackets. Although the main focus is on
modern methods of producing clothing, a rich and complex cutting
tradition is acknowledged and used. It is hoped that the modern
garment designer will be inspired to rediscover methods that retain
their validity today.
The different approaches to 'tailored' cutting are described
under three headings: bespoke cutting, engineered cutting and style
cutting. The rich heritage of the latter came from the tremendous
creativity that was unleashed by women's emancipation at the
beginning of the twentieth century and the merging of tailored
styles with fashionable clothing. The section on style cutting has
therefore derived some of the cutting techniques from that period,
thus demonstrating how they can be applied to current methods of
production.
