THE

TO THE CUTTING OF

Embracing all the New and Current Styles of Ladies' Garments now being made in the best tailoring firms.

Unlike other works on Cutting, a work on Ladies' Garments mutt be renewed every two, or at most, three years ; such are the material changes which ,take place in ladies' attire. We have so often been solicited to prepare and publish a work on Ladies' Garments by the " Cutters' Practical Guide Systems," that we feel sure very many of our patrons will hail the work now it has been completed. In the complete form in which it is got up, it has proved to be an undertaking of considerable magnitude. It will be found not only the most complete, but the most beautifully illustrated Work on Ladies' Garments ever published, containing as it does many illustrative figures, showing the new and latest styles, and produced in the highest class of Art ; and the systems given show bow these are produced. Science and, Fashion are thus combined throughout.

This Work is got up in first-class style, the diagrams and illustrative figures being all beautifully engraved in the highest class of Art, and printed on excellent quality of toned paper, bound in cloth and gilt For such a work, it is supplied at the lowest possible price

The Art of Tryiag-On and FITTING,

Seing a series for Practical Illustrations from his own Experience.

Never before has so much light been thrown upon what is really and truly the practical part of Cutting ; no Cutter of limited experience should be without this work. It is made up of a series of actual cases of fitting-on in ;he Author's own practice. The reader is iaken into the author's Cutting Room on a large number of occasions, when garments are being fitted on ; the defects in a great variety it cases are pointed out, and the remedy, illustrated by beautifully engraved diagrams, pointed out. As the experience of every cutter has taught him—fitting on a garment is no guarantee that it will ultimately fit. There is frequently more art in chalking effective iterations than in cutting the garment in the first place. As a practical guide for all cutters, this work is invaluable.

OUR NEW WORK. On Disproportion, PART FOUR OF THE Students' Practical Guide to Curing.

This work long asked for and promised, his proved an undertak ng of much greater magnitude than we could have anticipated ; nor could anyone not actually concerned in its production, estimate the amount of time, care and attention involved—first on the put of the author in mentally conceiving its ground-wore and scope ; and secondly, on the part of the Artistic editor in directing the artist in the production of such illustrations as will correctly represent not only all the ordinary, and a goodly number of the EXTRA-ordinary cases of Disproportion, which present themselves to be clothed, but many real cases of Malformation.

No work has ever appeared which has rested this subject from an artistic as well as praccal point of view. The sixteen beautifully engraved Plates which constitute the leading feature of the work, form a Series of OBJECT LESSONS—the illustrative Figures and the Diagrams which show the necessary alterations appearing on the same Plate ; while the whole subject is fully discussed, both from a practical and scientific point or view in the letter-press. A glance at the Plates will show at once the artistic merit brought to bear on their production.

These types of Disproportion and Malformation, all illustrated upon figures, got up in the highest class of art, will convey to our readers some idea of the magnitude of this undertaking, each type being further illustrated by beautifully engraved Diagrams showing the deviation* required for each from the normal pattern. Such a work as this is not only the product of considerable time and labour, but also of expense ; but as usual the work is produced at the lowest possible figure, and it ia in anticipation of a larg« demand, that we put the
