What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"The aim of this book is to provide the principles of garment product development to computer operators or students in clothing technology and to aid the transition to computer-aided design (CAD) systems for those conversant with manual pattern construction.

Computer-aided Pattern Design and Product Development is clearly written and simple to understand. It is an excellent source of information for those interested in both manual and computerised pattern design."
