Sommario/riassunto

For an undergraduate course in Patternmaking. Renowned for its



comprehensive coverage, exceptional illustrations, and clear instructions, this #1 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.
