This work on pattern cutting emphasizes 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 computerized pattern-design systems. The book is suitable for students of design and pattern cutting, and professional pattern cutters and clothing technologists.
