Technical Drawing for Fashion explains how to create a technical fashion drawing using a simple and straightforward step-by-step method. This second edition includes more information on rendering drawings by hand and using a computer, and a brand new section on knitwear.

Reviews

ANDREW BANNISTER-BAILEY, LEEDS ARTS UNIVERSITY
A very clearly laid out instructional guide for developing accurate and industry ready technical drawings for fashion with great tips and an excellent extensive visual directory of garment styles and details. This book is suitable for all levels of undergraduate study.
JOHANNA ROBERTS - SHREWSBURY COLLEGE GROUP
This book shows you how to translate garments into technical flats for production and includes lots of examples of garment shapes and styles to trace and use as inspiration for your own work. Creating clear technical drawings is a very important skill to learn as a fashion designer and this book really supports that learning.
FAYE FRASER, NORTHAMPTON COLLEGE
A great resource for technical drawing that builds on introductory skills through to more detailed design elements while still accessible for beginners. A perfect book for our students on the level three diploma that have no prior knowledge or experience of how to draw flat garments.
