This new and innovative book on pattern cutting emphasises the technological aspects of pattern development for women's mass-produced clothing. The opening chapters deal with sizes and measurements and examine the factors which influence pattern construction in a simple and integrative method of drafting block patterns. The second main section develops a wide ranging tool-box of professional pattern cutting techniques and gives many examples of their applications. This section also includes a chapter on making patterns for linings and fusibles. The last chapter examines and explains the functions of computerised pattern design systems.

Pattern Cutting for Women's Outerwear

Recent American and European surveys show that nearly 15% of the women's clothing market consists of outsizes. Pattern cutting and grading for this sector, however, operates very much in the past because the current sizing systems do not reflect the true form of the modern outsize figure. Improved foundation garments and a greater fashion awareness make it imperative that an entirely new approach has to be taken to the construction and sizing of garment patterns for outsizes. This new textbook is a specialized and up-to-date treatment of the subject, and provides pattern cutters and graders with a wealth of practical information.

Master Patterns and Grading for Women's Outsizes

Technological factors are becoming increasingly important in fashion design because of the far-ranging decisions which the designer has to make involving cutting, fusibles, sewing, pressing, finishing and quality at the sampling stage. Today, the designer has to understand the basics of the technologies involved in order to make informed decisions, which will affect the feasibility and costs of his designs and serve his employers interests best. This handbook is designed to provide students and professionals with the fundamental principles of clothing technology in relation to their own work of design, pattern cutting and supervision of a sample making section.
