+The Cutters' Practical Guide to the Cutting of Ladies Garments
+==============================================================
+
+This section follows :cite:`1892:cutters`.
+
+At least some of the original blocks included sewing allowances: they
+have all been consistently removed, and the automatic sewing allowances
+from Valentina used instead.
+
+All measurements have also been converted to metric.
+
+Measurements
+------------
+
+The blocks have been converted to metric measures.
+
+All measurements should be taken on top of basic underwear, including a
+corset *and bustle* , following the instructions given by the book.
+
+The file :download:`cutters.vit` include all the measurements used in
+these blocks and the patterns derived from them.
+
+Instructions on how to take them are on the pages listed of the book
+itself.
+
+Jackets, Ulsters, Bodices, Habits, Dolmands &c.
