Publisher's Synopsis
One of the more difficult aspects of a designer s training is learning how to create patterns that make full use of the characteristics of individual fabrics. With an ever increasing range of fabrics available to the designer, an understanding of the relationship between fabric, form and pattern shape is now probably the most important skill a designer has to acquire.
This book discusses the factors that need to be taken into consideration and offers a unique and practical method for solving some of the problems that will be encountered. It is recommended as essential reading for all students of fashion and clothing as well as all those with an interest in fabric and garment design.
