"Best-selling author Helen Joseph-Armstrong combines instructions with easy-to-follow technical drawings to present the principles and methods of draping. This practical and thorough text incorporates three draping techniques--manipulating dart excess, adding fullness, and contour draping--in design projects featured throughout the text. The outstanding coverage includes methods on how to measure the human figure and model form accurately; illustrations and explanations on how to manipulate the fabric on the form to develop all designs; development of the basic dress buy and its relationship to every garment in a designer's collection. Armstrong's text is a source of inspiration for every future professional in the fashion industry."
