Description
For an undergraduate course in Fashion.
Renowned for its comprehensive coverage, exceptional illustrations, and clear instructions, This hallmark text offers detailed yet easy-to-understand explanations of the essence of patternmaking. Hinging on a recurring theme that all designs are based on one or more of the three major patternmaking and design principles-dart manipulation, added fullness, and contouring-it provides students with all the relevant information necessary to create design patterns with accuracy regardless of their complexity.
