By Helen Joseph Armstrong Patternmaking for Fashion Design (5th Edition)

Book is very comprehensive and detailed. Suitable for people who have fair knowledge of pattern cutting. Good study and teaching book. It contains everything you need for pattern cutting. I am very pleased with this book and would highly recommend it.

Amazon quiere una opinión sincera y de primera mano acerca de este producto: Es un libro de los años 80 bastante desactualizado, tiene cosas muy positivas para quien quiere comenzar patrones base de una inmensa variedad de modelos por lo que sería recomendable por ese hecho, sin embargo no vale la pena, por el precio, existen libros iguales o mejores, mas actuales y hasta por precios mucho mas bajos. Ha sido un regalo que despues de esperar mucho para recibirlo ha desilusionado.

I was blown away by the clear and comprehensive information in this book. It's nothing short of a masterpiece. I purchased this edition instead of the current edition for the chapter on dart manipulation, contouring, added fullnesss, etc., and for the chapter on problems and solutions. Both sections are filled with useful information. For some reson, these chapters were omitted from the more recent edition. The book covers everything else in exacting detail. One caveat is that many new fabrics have been developed since this edition was written; and therefore, the book can't be expected to cover those fabrics or how they might impact pattern design. For anyone going in to pattern making completely cold: a little background in clothing construction or sewing is enormously helpful in understanding this book. If anyone is considering this book and they have no background in either of these areas, I would highly recommend taking a class to help make sense of it all.

Good book.
