Biographical Note: - Take just one measurement to determine the right pattern size to buy. Find out what to do if you are between sizes or a different size top and bottom. - Make a "body map" with a close-fitting dress pattern to see how you differ from the "standard" on which sewing patterns are based. - Learn from "real people" examples of a variety of bodies and their individual alterations. - Use the book's new "wrinkle dictionary" to identify a needed pattern alteration. "Wrinkles point to the problem," say the authors, and now you can look up the page reference for a solution. - See how age can affect body shape, from preteen to octogenarian. - Take note of the latest sewing techniques for garment details that affect fit, such as darts, zippers and sleeves, for enhancing the look of a well-fitted garment. - Learn basic skills for designing or redesigning for myriad variations using the same pattern. Throughout the book, step-by step instructions are accompanied by full-color photography and a new style of technical art that is extremely clear. Short captions explain each illustration. As a bonus, the authors detail the evolution of ready-to-wear and pattern sizing over the past century, along with their own history in pioneering the art and practice of tissue-fitting. |
