Since the first edition was published in 1980, this book has become established as the standard work on this subject and has proved invaluable as both a textbook for students and a reference source for the practicing designer. In this fifth edition, the chapter on computer aided design now has full colour illustrations and reflects the growing importance of CAD to the industry and as a part of fashion and design courses. The rest of the book has been updated where necessary: in particular, new blocks for tailored shirts, new details on how to adapt men’s blocks for women’s wear, and a revision of sizing and labelling information.
