Excerpt from Modern Millinery: A Workroom d104 Book Containing Complete Instruction in the Work of Preparing, Making and Copying Millinery, as Actually Practiced in the Most Advanced Trade Workrooms The impulse to make beautiful things is inherent in most of us. But before we can express the best that is in us in any form of art, there must be a period of training and discipline to develop an instinctive technique which allows a free flow of ideas. In common with other workers in the arts, the milliner can only express her enthusiasm for line, color and harmony after she has acquired by study and practice a thorough knowledge of the mechanics of frame-making and of measuring, cutting and applying materials. Thus millinery work may be divided roughly into two classes - Construction and Ornamentation. It has been felt by the author of this book that the presentation of both classes of millinery work in one volume would introduce the beginner prematurely to the work of trimming and encourage the all-too-prevalent tendency to slipshod production. Modern Millinery is a complete study of the work of those branches of the trade known as Preparing, Making and Copying.
