Product Description
Stretch fabrics are more popular than ever, used for Juicy Couture s sweats and in the
trendy, ready-to-wear styles found at H&M. Stretch fabrics have long been a staple of
designer fashion as well from Missoni s colorful knits to Donna Karan s basics. Designing
and Patternmaking for Stretch Fabrics provides the design student or working designer with
the essential information for understanding the specifics of knit fabrics and the patternmaking
process for different garments. Fibers, dyes, treatments, care, and fabric sources
are discussed, along with the principles of sizing and measuring for women s, men s,
petite, plus, and half sizes. Chapters focusing on particular garments begin with a draft of
a sloper block. Numerous illustrations and diagrams demonstrate the effects of draping,
gathering, shirring, ruffling, and making adjustments as needed to flatter the wearer.
These instructions will put students skills and creativity to work with everything they
need to turn an ordinary garment into one of original designer quality.
