This foundational book provides a comprehensive insight into the traditional yet forward-looking field of haute couture. "Pattern Design in Fashion" addresses all the important aspects that a pattern professional must understand and master. It covers, among other things, special techniques for pleats, ruffles, gathers, and other design elements that are particularly used in haute couture and are highly complex. Of course, it also addresses fundamentals such as patterns and processing options for transparent fabrics, silk, lace, and sequin fabrics. Draping on the dress form and fabric painting are two additional topics closely related to pattern design and are therefore covered in separate chapters. Furthermore, this book includes a chapter on various technical aspects, particularly regarding pattern design with 3D.
