Exactly what you need to know 20 Mar 2003

By Mimi Jackson - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

I studied at FIT in NY, and this was required reading for my first draping course. It seems that a careful read of this book alone could have taught me what I needed to know. It takes practice, but boy, if you want perfect results, follow this book to the letter and it will get you there!

very informartive! 14 July 2006

By V. Arcos - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

This book contains allot of basic information on draping. The instructions are thorough and are acompanied by visuals, for extra comprehension. It also has a section dedicated to draping knits, a real plus! My understanding of the draping method, and therefore my skill, has improved on account of this book.

Draping for Fashion Design 15 Mar 2007

By C. Page - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

A great book for anyone with sewing, patternmaking, and clothing design experience. Not a novice book, however. You need to understand clothing design and patternmaking terminology to use this book. Well written, well illustrated.
