5.0 out of 5 stars The textbook I go back to most often, June 18, 2000
This review is from: Patternmaking for Fashion Design (Hardcover)
This was one of my favorite textbooks from design school. It's the one I refer back to most often, because I know what I want will be there, and will be presented clearly. It is the most complete reference I have in my library for flat-patternmaking, and covers everything from making basic slopers from measurements (the book provides measurements for standard sizes, or substitute a real client's), through all sorts of bodices, sleeves, collars, skirts, pants, and other details. Also included are sections on knitwear, including swimwear, and a good portion of the book is devoted to children's clothing. Highly recommended and well worth the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, May 13, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Patternmaking for Fashion Design (Hardcover)
This book, unlike many others, goes into extensive detail regarding dart manipulation. I have been able to re create the intricate designs of the 30's 40's and 50's where dart manipulation was the essence of the garment. It is complex but not so much so that the average dressmaker cant use it. It is written in a tutorial type format, with reduced scale pattern blocks to practice with. All in all, the best book I have got in my large collection.

By A Customer
This review is from: Patternmaking for Fashion Design (Hardcover)
This is an excellent book on all types of patternmaking. I use it all the time for drafting and altering patterns. The illustrations are simple and easy to follow. It has been a valuable resource for patternmaking.
