Download or read book Tailored Fashion Design written by Pamela Powell and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-07-20 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While most tailoring books begin with the selection of ready-made patterns and conclude with the assembly of the various pieces, Tailored Fashion Design begins a few steps earlier-in the design process. Students will learn to consider tailoring as a design element, rather than just a method of garment assembly. The book guides readers from inspiration through pattern manipulation and garment construction of their own tailored jacket designs for both men and women. Students will gain a greater appreciation of tailoring as a valuable skill that will enable them to not only display their ability to put together garments, but also showcase their creativity as designers.
