More like a pamphlet. On top of this it has very little to no info inside teaching you HOW to make corsets; its just a book on the theoretic behind corsets and there makings. Dont expect patterns; or measurements; or even styles. Do expect tool names; and pictures of said tools; and deciphering language on what and how each tool could be used if you ever did learn how to make a corset.9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Good; but you SHOULD know...By TatteredSpinnerIve read about halfway through the book; and it is very informative and easy to read with good; clear illustrations. There are some editorial problems such as typos; but only minimally. BUT; what I didnt realize is that this book contains no patterns. You need to have a pattern to use the book. As far as I can see; the only thing in the books description about patterns is in section three in "Altering and fitting." Its a really informative resource; and maybe I should have realized that Id also need a pattern; but I wish that had been made clearer in the books description. The author recommends using either Victorian Corsets; Chemise and Drawers Pattern (Sewing Pattern) or Simplicity Sewing Pattern 9769 Misses Costumes; RR (14-16-18-20). I purchased the latter and may edit this review once I have it and can start working on it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good for beginnersBy suzGood for starters; but has some misleading things.. I bought a lot of equipment I didnt need.. as I found out later following historic methods. What is best is the recommendation to use "German plastic boning" - definitely right and saved me a lot of money.. but it would be nice if it had a section on reed boning methods. A lot of this I didnt need like how to fit; and a lot of it I needed more - like how to sew the boning; which presser feet; and more about the fabrics that I learned by trial and error (a lot of error) I especially felt lost about how to make the casings.. where is the boning inserted - my first attempt had the bones sticking out of too thin lining fabric. Overall well written and a good starter guide. I recommend buying this along with an historic stays pattern and experiment a while. Also note couteil fabric should be used for final product to avoid previously mentioned "poking".
