What You Get
How To Tailor A Woman’s Suit, U.S. Department of Agriculture Home and Garden Bulletin No. 20 with 1964 and 1968 copyrights. Inside find step-by-step instructions, starting with Fitting, Cutting, Making the Jacket, Making the Skirt, and Pressing Aids (how to make them). I show the pages for taping the roll line on the lapel, properly setting in the sleeve, and doing bound buttonholes. This is how I learned — and how I still tailor a women’s suit. This measures 10-1/4″ x 8″ and has 24 pages in staple binding.
Condition
See the photos above. The front cover shows creasing as shown. The other pages are in better condition as you can see. No names or markings. From clean, smoke-free home.
Shipping
Generally sent the same day payment arrives. Unless you request otherwise, I will wrap the book in plastic wrap to help protect it from the elements, tightly sandwich it between pieces of cardboard, then wrap in brown paper to send via Media Mail with Delivery Confirmation tracking. See the shipping page for the cost to send a one-ound Media Mail package. Insurance is an additional cost as described. I am delighted to combine postage and insurance costs if you purchase more than one item. The second item may travel for free or just a few cents more (if you will allow me to adjust the invoice before you pay) so it’s worth taking a look at my other items before you complete your order.
