Written as a beginning-level, patternmaking text, Principles of Flat Pattern Design, 3rd Edition, provides an added dimension to apparel design and a better understanding of the processes involved in producing ready-to-wear or custom apparel. In this text, the author presents step-by-step instructions and diagrams, including a representation of the completed pattern. Design problems expand on the immediately preceding topic and offer the opportunity to build on previously learned material. An insert of half-scale sloper patterns will help students practice examples and problems in scale.
