Product Information

In compiling this textbook in the 1920s, the author had in her mind, not only the teaching of the handicraft of Millinery, but the hope of presenting her subject in such a form as many stimulate thought, ingenuity, and originality. With the foundation work carefully and fully described, it is believed that the serious student will be able to apply this knowledge to the new ideas which must continually occur.
