洋裁全書 (The Complete Book of Western Dressmaking) is a comprehensive technical manual released by Kamakura-Shobo, the legendary publisher behind DressMaking magazine. Published during the height of the 1960s "home sewing" boom, this volume serves as an authoritative guide to the Bunka-style and Sugino-style pattern drafting methods that defined Japanese fashion education.
The book covers the transition from mid-century structured tailoring to the more avant-garde, youthful silhouettes of the late 60s. It provides detailed mathematical formulas and drafting diagrams for everything from basic bodices and "slopers" to complex coats, collars, and evening wear.
Beyond mere instructions, the book acts as a cultural time capsule, featuring illustrations and drafting ratios tailored to the specific aesthetic preferences and fabric technologies of 1968. It is highly prized today by vintage fashion enthusiasts and professional pattern makers for its precision and its representation of the "New Look" evolution in Asia.
