Taught by apprenticeships, the skills learned were passed on from expert to apprentice without the need for written manuals. The most skilled aspect of the trade was cutting out the garments from the bolt of cloth. Most tailors had their own secrets patterns and guarded them closely from their competitors. Early patterns were made out of cloth, as parchment and paper were too expensive. In the 19th century, paper patterns became widespread and commercially available. Almost everyone, from the upper class to the lower class, had their clothing made to measure. This work could be painstaking and could take weeks just to make a simple outfit. It was about being precise in the designing, cutting, fitting and finishing of the clothing.
