What is Practical Dress Design: Principles of Fitting and Pattern Making: Revised Edition about?

Understanding that a few readers will be sufficiently skilled to drape or flat-draft their own block patterns, the development of patterns is discussed in terms of altering, manipulating and building on a commercial foundation pattern, cutting, slashing, manipulating darts and introducing style lines so that a wide range of garments can be planned without the necessity of drafting from scratch, although certain drafts, such as long, straight skirts, are shown drafted from the basic rectangle of total circumference (including overlap) and length + hem allowance, showing where the darts should be located without stipulating exact width the length thereof. This encourages the student to apply common sense and forges an understanding of what these darts represent. They will vary in location, width, length and indeed angle and number, according to the figure in question and the nature of the fabric.
