Starting with the basic blocks for skirts and bodices (and also a jacket
and trouser block), Gillian Holman shows you how to add the refinements,
such as necklines, collars, sleeves, yokes, flounces, pleats, peg tops,
pockets, and crossovers. Each design element is accompanied by sketches
and patterns. It is a step-by-step introduction to the techniques of
pattern cutting for fashion students and amateur dressmakers.
