Devereaux's Actual Measure System - The Science and Geometry of Dress #246476

In the preparation of this system, it has been my aim to combine and present, in a harmonious whole, all of the modern improvements, as well as to introduce a more perfect method, and more practical opera tions not found in other systems. In short, to present the subject more as a science than an art. I am aware that however valuable the science of drafting may be, it has by no means been perfect, if indeed it could be said to exist at all. It is only within a few years that the true principles on which this science rests, have been suggested and confirmed.
