Excerpt from Superlative System of Cutting Ladies' Garments: Based Upon a Scientific, Sure and Simple Method, Giving the Correct Proportions for Each Type of Form of Every Size, With Variations for All Kinds of Disproportionate Shapes and Forms It is to be regretted that works of this nature are lacking. It is true that there are many works treating of this subject; but are they adequate to the exacting demands of to-day? Are they founded on true and invariable princi ples, which cutters can implicitly rely upon in their daily work in all its range and sweep? I think not. Even the very best existing works on the cutting of ladies' garments, -which assume to have for basis a fundamental principle, are soon found to be lacking in one respect or another. In point of fact, too many of these are based on an inadequate if not a wrong system, the best of them upon a system only half perceived and now and again abandoned in its application.

Containing 2,729 entries, Kevin L. Seligman’s bibliography concentrates on books, manuals, journals, and catalogs covering a wide range of sartorial approaches over nearly five hundred years. After a historical overview, Seligman approaches his subject chronologically, listing items by century through 1799, then by decade. In this section, he deals with works on flat patterning, draping, grading, and tailoring techniques as well as on such related topics as accessories, armor, civil costumes, clerical costumes, dressmakers’ systems, fur, gloves, leather, military uniforms, and undergarments. Seligman then devotes a section to those American and English journals published for the professional tailor and dressmaker. Here, too, he includes the related areas of fur and undergarments. A section devoted to journal articles features selected articles from costume- and noncostumerelated professional journals and periodicals. The author breaks these articles down into three categories: American, English, and other. Seligman then devotes separate sections to other related areas, providing alphabetical listings of books and professional journals for costume and dance, dolls, folk and national dress, footwear, millinery, and wigmaking and hair. A section devoted to commercial pattern companies, periodicals, and catalogs is followed by an appendix covering pattern companies, publishers, and publications. In addition to full bibliographic notation, Seligman provides a library call number and library location if that information is available. The majority of the listings are annotated. Each listing is coded for identification and cross-referencing. An author index, a title index, a subject index, and a chronological index will guide readers to the material they want. Seligman’s historical review of the development of publications on the sartorial arts, professional journals, and the commercial paper pattern industry puts the bibliographical material into context. An appendix provides a cross-reference guide for research on American and English pattern companies, publishers, and publications. Given the size and scope of the bibliography, there is no other reference work even remotely like it.
