Those of us who know a little bit (or alot) about the way couture items are made, will know that even a pattern drawing or stitch a millimetre out of place could ruin the whole outfit, making clothes pukker or sit funny when they are on.

And this is an even more important rule for tailored couture menswear, especially suits. So we were really pleased to find this video by Dolce and Gabbana, which shows exactly how it should be done.

The video, which shows a preview of their men’s winter 2010 collection shows how a suit is painfully put together and covers everything from the pattern cutting to stitching. It’s been made to mark a decade of sharp menswear by the brand.

Time to get the scissors and sewing machines out girls.
