Thanks for that tip - I've seen it on amazon.com before, but I didn't know whether it's what I'm looking for:-)) They don't say much about this book there, could you tell me what periods does it cover? How many different sorts of costumes are there? For men, women or both? Are there accessories - like headdresses etc. as well? How much period are the patterns (seams etc)? Are there patterns for corsets?

She walks you through how to do a sloper and how to alter it into whatever form you want. You can also try a Flat Patterning book once you've mastered Rosemary's book - I use it all the time!!!
