Pattern Cutting for Women's Tailored Jackets: Classic and Contemporary

To grade very different shapes requires pattern cutting skills which are being lost as new technology replaces traditional expertise. This book sets out to reverse the decline by setting out the practical techniques and showing how exciting "designer"-style results can be achieved using today's technology.
