Metric Pattern Cutting for Women's Wear

Description

Metric Pattern Cutting for Women's Wear provides a straightforward introduction to the principles of form pattern cutting for garments to fit the body shape, and flat pattern cutting for casual garments and jersey wear. This sixth edition remains true to the original concept: it offers a range of good basic blocks, an introduction to the basic principles of pattern cutting and examples of their application into garments. Fully revised and updated to include a brand new and improved layout, up-to-date skirt and trouser blocks that reflect the changes in body sizing, along with updates to the computer-aided design section and certain blocks, illustrations and diagrams. This best-selling textbook still remains the essential purchase for students and beginners looking to understand pattern cutting and building confidence to develop their own pattern cutting style. Review: Good - This is my favourite pattern making book, I have relied on it for years. With the new edition I found some useful information and a few new drafts related to contemporary clothing. Even taking measurements is shown clearer in the front and back body measurement diagram, if you make custom/personal garments. The information is spread out nicely. I have the 4th edition, I didn't think the 5th edition is a waste, although I do wish they ADDED drafts for MORE cool garments. Like I was hoping for more pant and trouser patterns, that is why I bought the book in the first place. I was looking for more bespoke pant option ideas, for fitted pants in woven fabrics. Lastly, patterns need fine tuning according to sizes, but the base instructions and modications required thereafter as directed in the following pages as per your need makes your foundation solid. Review: Chiaro ed efficace - Il libro contiene tutte le istruzioni per imparare a fare i propri cartamodelli con facilità, ho trovato le spiegazioni chiare ed efficaci. Senza contare le tante informazioni accessorie che una sarta amatoriale come me trova utilissime. Certo è scritto in inglese, ma io un libro equivalente in italiano non l'ho trovato. Per me non è un problema, ma forse anche chi conosce un po' meno la lingua può arrangiarsi a leggerlo. Sono molto contenta dell'acquisto, ma sapevo che ne valeva la pena perché il volume è segnalato sui social da innumerevoli sewist estere.
