Patternmaking for Fashion Design, 5th edition, international edition, is the easy-to-understand, detailed guide to patternmaking that provides you with all the information necessary to create design patterns accurately, regardless of their complexity. The text follows the notion that all designs are based on one or more of the three major patternmaking design principles (dart manipulation, added fullness, and contouring) and returns to them throughout, teaching you how to address and master these principles.

A practical introduction to patternmaking, the book includes discussions about the workroom, the model form and measuring techniques, and how to draft the basic pattern set. Along with complete coverage of the three steps of design patterns, the text includes chapter projects to help you develop your skills and understanding.

This latest edition has been updated with modern, cutting-edge sketches and designs to aid your learning as well as advanced design projects that have been added to selected chapters. Comparisons of human variations and examples of how to take and record personal measurements now help you adjust your designs for all body types.

Renowned for its exceptional illustrations and clear instructions, this book will help you develop the skills and techniques needed to become a master in your work.
