Review: Excellent - As per reviews this book gives you all you need to get your blocks drafted. It's been years since I drafted blocks and patterns so I need to start from scratch. This is perfect. Am a bit boggled looking at it but am confident I will be able to follow the instructions laid out. Would highly recommend to any student or someone like me - I would imagine this is a go to book for many novices and experienced alike. Review: A good student resource. - The book is hardback and arrived in good condition and is brand new. I am a student tailor and use this to support me on my course in the making of The Tailored Jacket. It comes recommended by my colleges as it is the standard book used in class at this time. There a few errors spotted but I overlook this as I’m used to the author’s methodology and techniques in garment construction from another textbook in the series. I highly recommend this textbook as a useful studying companion and resource in fashion and tailoring. ## Features - Clear introduction to form and flat pattern cutting for women’s garments, including casual and jersey wear - Updated blocks for skirts and trousers reflect modern body sizing and include CAD enhancements - Ideal for students and beginners looking to build confidence and develop their own pattern cutting style ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 6,699 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 11 in Fashion Design 193 in Hobbies & Crafts | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 981 Reviews | ## Images ![Metric Pattern Cutting for Women's Wear, 6th Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81u9nskbu+L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent *by J***E on 2 October 2024* As per reviews this book gives you all you need to get your blocks drafted.

Some of the reviews have said its too technical. It is a little technical - but if you start right at the beginning and take your time - it makes you really understand the craft of pattern drafting and using a basic block to tailor to individual sizes and allow for 'problem areas' - e.g. like me big boobs ! It shows how the basic block is adapted to make the whole range of garments, demonstrating how clothes are put together. Its NOT a sewing book .. its a pattern drafting book.
