Pattern Cutting for Women's Tailored Jackets: Classic and Contemporary

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Millions of tailored jackets (women's business jackets) are sold every year. Yet in spite of being amongst the most popular garments in fashion stores, there is a depressing 'sameness' about them unless customers are prepared to pay for a 'designer' jacket.To grade very different shapes requires pattern cutting skills which are being lost as new technology replaces traditional expertise. This book sets out to reverse the decline by setting out the practical techniques and showing how exciting 'designer'-style results can be achieved using today's technology.
