The Theory of Garment-Pattern Making - A Textbook for Clothing Designers, Teachers of Clothing Technology, and Senior Students

This vintage book contains a comprehensive textbook for clothing designers, teachers of clothing technology, and senior students. With detailed diagrams and a wealth of useful and interesting information, this timeless handbook is highly recommended for those with an interest in fashion and design, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: "The Human Body", "Physical Proportions", "The Sizing of Garments", "Size and Movement", "The Garment Pattern", "Garment Balance", "Measurement", "Applying The Measurements to the Pattern", "Garment Shape", "The Designing of Speciality Garments", and "The Grading of Patterns". Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on embroidery.
