Summary:

This practical book shows students how to interpret the human form and look at clothing through the eyes of a designer rather than a consumer. As well as explaining the proportions of the human body, the book introduces key tools and then takes the reader from simple patternmaking ideas to more advanced creative methods. Step-by-step illustrations show how to create basic bodice, sleeve, skirt, dress, and pant slopers, and how to adapt these to create patterns for original designs. There is also a chapter dedicated to digital technology, and a selection of the author's own creative designs.
