Synopsis

In the Clothing Industry it is essential that designers and dressmakers understand each other's problems; here the instructions for pattern cutting and making up have been logically integrated. This unique feature enables the reader to prepare an initial sketch, plan the pattern, cut out the fabric and assemble the pieces from the information given in each section. Volume 1 of a three-vikume series gives all the information necessary to pattern cut and manufacture a sample garment. After an introduction which explains how work is organised in the design and sample rooms in the Industry, there are sections on Equipment; Making Up; Block Construction and Measurement Taking; Darts; and Style Analysis and Pattern Planning. The final chapter gives step-by-step instructions for cutting and assembling a specific sample dress. The authors have provided over 280 annotated line diagrams, which, with the use of a second colour, illustrate clearly every stage of the princples described. Each assembly process is prefixed by a grid which gives a quick visual reference to the skills and equipment required. Students studying for O and A levels, HNC and TEC courses in clothing technology will find this reference book indespensable and the well illustrated and clearly presented instructions for designing and making clothes will also be of great interest to home dressmakers.
