This book proved to be invaluable. It is clear and accurate and
contains very precise flats that are extremely useful in aiding
students to understand the importance and requirements of accurate
working drawings.
*Kevin Freeman, Norwich University of the Arts, UK*
It is a specific and detailed resource on how to measure and record
data for apparel products.
*Sheryl Farnan, Metropolitan Community College, US*
This is a great book if you are teaching students how to develop a
technical package. It has very detailed information about what goes
on each sheet. I like the author's approach. She summarizes the
standards in retail and gradually explains the importance of the
roles involved in the production of a garment. I think the book
flows at a great pace and really explains topics well.
*Dyana Harrison, Clary Sage College, US*
I really like this book because it contains comprehensive coverage
of all garment measurement points. I have not found another book
that offers this in such a comprehensive way. I like the inclusion
of different types of garment examples and worksheets for students
to work through. The students like the book because it is very easy
to use and is written in a way they can understand. The spiral
binding is also a great addition so the book can lay flat.
*Janace Bubonia, Texas Christian University, US*
It’s very easy to reference in how it is laid out overall. Love the
addition of menswear and standard body measurements. Also like that
there are grade rules for both number and letter sizing. This is by
far the best spec book that is currently published.
