Metric Pattern Cutting for Women's Wear, firstpublished in 1975, provides a straightforward introductory book forstudents beginning courses in flat pattern cutting.
This fifth edition continues to offer an introduction to theprinciples of pattern cutting, with a range of good basic blocksand examples of their application to garments.
New for this edition is the inclusion of colour to help studentsrecognize the different sections of the book and to enhance thegarment illustrations? Colour illustrations also offer a newdimension to the updated material on computer-aided design and theCAD chapter now provides students with a clear guide to thetechnology.
The size charts have been revised to reflect the changes in bodysizing, the co-ordination with European size charts and to the waythat clothes are now marketed to different sectors. The greatexpansion of casual wear has led to the growth of 'flat cutting'with no darting, and the section devoted to this type of cuttinghas been further expanded.
This best-selling textbook with its tried-and-testedpresentation of authoritative text and clear diagrams remains theessential purchase for students of fashion and design.
