Recent American and European surveys show that nearly 15 per cent 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 textbook is a specialized and up-to-date treatment of the subject, and provides pattern cutters and graders with a wealth of practical information.
