Metric Pattern Cutting for Women''s Wear, first published in
1975, provides a straightforward introductory book for students
beginning courses in flat pattern cutting. This fifth edition
continues to offer an introduction to the principles of pattern
cutting, with a range of good basic blocks and examples of their
application to garments. New for this edition is the inclusion of
colour to help students recognize the different sections of the
book and to enhance the garment illustrations. Colour illustrations
also offer a new dimension to the updated material on
computer-aided design and the CAD chapter now provides students
with a clear guide to the technology.The size charts have been
revised to reflect the changes in body sizing, the co-ordination
with European size charts and to the way that clothes are now
marketed to different sectors. The great expansion of casual wear
has led to the growth of ''flat cutting'' with no darting, and the
section devoted to this type of cutting has been further expanded.
This best-selling textbook with its tried-and-tested presentation
of authoritative text and clear diagrams remains the essential
purchase for students of fashion and design.
