Description
If you are looking for an easy, quick way to design your own sewing patterns to create garments which fit your measurements perfectly, then Precision Draping is the guide you will need.
Originally published in 1948, the author Nelle Weymouth Link provides an indepth course to dress design, with each page fully illustrated with line drawings which show you exactly how to drape your designs and how to transfer them to paper patterns.
By draping material straight on to your dress form (tailor’s dummy, mannequin – whatever you want to call it) you will be able to quickly make your basic blocks, which are the basis for all your future patterns.
Each chapter walks you through the manipulation of darts, using muslin or tissue replicas of your blocks. You will learn by touch and feel how to move darts to make the blouse, dress or skirt fit your figure perfectly.
Precision Draping consists of ten chapters, detailing 40 lessons, and you will find all the wonderful 1940’s fashions within those chapters. The basic designs can be adapted to suit any type of modern clothing too.
From yoke panelled blouses, to Princess Line suits, from dolman sleeves to six piece skirts, everything you need to learn about pattern design is here.
Whether you are a fashion designer, student or enjoy sewing as a hobby, this book will provide you with a wealth of knowledge.
At the end of the book we have added links to videos showing you how to make your own dress form, so that you will be able to save some money!
