Oh it's so much more than patterns from old clothes. The photo section that
iws half the book is, like the other JA books, a vast amount of information
about how they actually made these clothes: close ups and details that, in
many cases, you have never seen (and in some cases, thought of) before. If
that kind of information is of interest to you, as it is to me, then seeing
the pattern shapes derived from the actual garments is just frosting.

Maggie, you misunderstood me. I have all the Janet Arnold books, and
extras she gave me. Kimiko was talking about a book called "Pattern
Cutting for Men's Costume"
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pattern-Cutting-Costume-Elizabeth-Friendship/dp/1408100061
As I said, I saw it while at the "Colloquium for Janet Arnold", in
Florence, but as it is mainly block patterns I decided I did not want
it, as I was taught to drape my patterns by, among others, Janet herself.
