Fashion Patternmaking Techniques: How to Make Jackets, Coats and Cloaks for Women and Men: Volume 3

Description

This volume completes this collection's exploration of patterns of all kinds for women and men. It focuses on the shaping of men's and women's outwear. The eight chapters of this volume follow the technical and educational approach of the first two volumes and combine images and text to provide a clear and in-depth explanation of how to develop and to produce patterns. The wide range of patterns examined includes basic forms of jackets, coats and cloaks as well as the latest trends and new cuts proposed by designers that go beyond the timeless and fundamental models. The book also offers detailed descriptions of drafting techniques, which are essential for the industrial patternmaker, and, last but not least, techniques for altering and fitting jackets, coats and cloaks.
