Excerpt from The Secret of Successful Tailoring
This little handbook is compiled from the series of twelve articles on "The Secret of Successful Tailoring" which were published monthly in L'Art De La Mode, concluding in the April (1910) number. The author, Mr. Edward Watkins, who was formerly with the Mrs. Osborn Company, is now recognized as one of New York's most distinguished tailors and an authority on the art of tailoring and dressmaking. Mr. Watkins writes from his wide experience in a way that gives practical information of inestimable value to the ambitious tailor and dressmaker, as well as to the woman who makes her own clothes. No new or essential point on this interesting subject has been overlooked, and we believe the chapters present the clearest, most accurate and most condensed work on the subject ever published.
While the articles were appearing serially in the magazine, readers of L'Art De La Mode were encouraged to write personally to Mr. Watkins, who cheerfully solved for them any puzzling problems.
