This book is worth every cent!,
This review is from: The Practical Guide To Patternmaking For Fashion Designers: Menswear (Spiral-bound)
I am so glad I bought this book. I do patternmaking for a living and this book answers questions I have had for a long time and never seen answered anywhere else. It contains standard body measurements for men's sizes from 34 and up for short, regular and tall. Most patternmaking books only deal in drafting misses patterns. This gives the measurements for mens pants, shirt, and jackets. It was worth every cent! I would recommend it for the experienced patternmaker as well as a beginner. A reference book you will want to keep forever.

This review is from: The Practical Guide To Patternmaking For Fashion Designers: Menswear (Spiral-bound)
I bought this book by virtue it was for menswear. I am a theatrical tailor and normally drape suits, and use commercial patterns as slopers. At university, I had trouble with flat patterning.
This book has altered my opinion of flatpattern work. I love it. I recommend it. The instructions are pretty clear; there were only one or two places that I really had to reread, and look more closely at the illustrations. Great, great book.

This review is from: The Practical Guide To Patternmaking For Fashion Designers: Menswear (Spiral-bound)
I have been trying to find a decent book that deals solely with menswear pattern design and I found it with this book. Many others I have from before were very difficult to use as the instructions were very minimal if any at all at times. This manual has excellent illustrations & instructions to make someone who may have never taken a course a good understanding in how to manipulate a men's pattern or create one with an easier understanding.
