Couture is an attitude--a non-complex way of thinking about sewing. It's about concepts--how to approach a technique, or a way of accomplishing a particular look. In this book, Carr expresses her philosophy--that there is no one way to do anything in couture sewing--and discusses alternative techniques. Illustrations and photos throughout.
