This book is a godsend. It's incredibly detailed, and walks you through every step. A lot of tailoring books kind of assume you have some level of knowledge, but this one talks you through it like you're a complete idiot so if you're self-taught (and therefore, likely have knowledge gaps) you don't end up getting lost because the author assumed you knew something you didn't know.

Also, don't be offput by 'Vintage' in the titles. The tailoring techniques used by vintage tailors are still the very best in the industry, with most of the more recent developments being time/cost-saving methods that really don't produce as good of results.

Couture Sewing by Claire Shaeffer. She also has more specialized books on the parts of Chanel-style suit, such as The Couture Cardigan Jacket and The Couture Skirt. Here's her Amazon page.

Thomas Von Nordheim's Vintage Couture Tailoring is excellent. He did the structured costumes for The Phantom Thread.

I've only looked through it, but Zoya Nudelman's The Art of Couture Sewing had beautiful photos.

Roberta Carr's Couture: The Art of Fine Sewing has hideous examples but good information.

For pattern making, Helen Joseph Armstrong's book is very popular. Books by Ernestine Kopp and Natalie Bray are others.
