Books Descriptions
This text guides fashion students through the garment construction
process and provides students in both fashion design and merchandising
with the industry standard construction information that they will need to
function effectively within design firms. By focusing on garment
construction techniques for various market levels-from budget (mass
market) and moderate to bridge (or better) and designer's ready-to-
wear-this text emphasizes the garment construction process as it exists
in the industry today. Comparisons of construction methods used at
different price points are an integral part of the text, with assembly
techniques noted according to their affect on garment cost, quality, and
production time. Flow charts and reference charts focus on industry
methods, practice, and applications. Practice construction methods
throughout the text reinforce students' competency levels with industry-
based sewing methods as opposed to traditional sewing practices.
