detailedReviews: detailedReviews 1: content: The chapters cover a wide range of topics that are useful for industry people, those wanting to make their own clothing and students alike. Almost everything is illustrated with drawings, diagrams, flow charts, and tables that allow for a broad understanding at a glance. The book is not text dense but has enough to explain the visuals. I bought it initially to help with my research on textile fibers and fabric manufacture and those chapters are very useful for that purpose. It's a great reference book.

detailedReviews 4: content: My friend is a professional seamstress in the movie industry and I found this book at her house. She loves it’s usefulness, and as someone who shops for vintage clothing through EBay and Etsy, I found this book great for learning terminology and then being able to apply that to my targeted clothing searches. Also, just interesting to read and learn. This is a visual reference, so no dense text. Enjoyable to read and peruse.

detailedReviews 6: content: I ordered this book from seller Cloudtail India and their packaging wasn't upto the mark. It's an expensive book and it was just put in an amazon plastic bag without any type of cover to protect it.
Coming to the book itself, It has quite a lot of information when it comes to fashion details, styles and silhouette but there's no explanation for some of the things. For example they've given a flat for bias cut skirt (I've attached the photo of that) but there's nothing given to explain the 45° grainline cut. Any inexperienced person wouldn't get that. Also, silhouette and line page, A Line and X line silhouette literally looks the same. There's no way you can tell them apart. There are quite a few faults and wrong names given for the styles. I'm a fresher in the industry so I'm finding some things that are new but any experienced designer already knows all this. Might be good for a fashion student. Will give this 3/5.
