In its second printing just 18 months after its introduction, this highly readable text describes sequentially the processes fundamental to industrial garment production. Facts about industry size, ownership, & trends are followed by characteristics, information, & selection of fabric & the many additional components such as thread, fasteners, & interlinings. The functions of designer, pattern maker, & pattern grader; specification sheets, basic blocks, & standards of fit are the content of the product development chapter, followed by casting marker making, fabric spreading & cutting techniques, seams & stitches & additional sewing machine information & problems. Garment assembly practices, operations bulletins, & quality standards complete the content. The industry's unique language - hot number, busted seam, safety stitched, pieced crotch, 807, & much more - is set apart along the margins, a format which makes for easy reference. Suppliers & customers of the industry, proteges just entering it, trainees in apparel-related areas, & anyone who buys, sells, or wear clothes will benefit from this book. So well received by professionals, lay people, & educators, it has been adopted as the textbook for apparel & fashion classes in both the U. S. & Canada, & has been made required reading for new employees by a number of executives in apparel & supplier companies.… (more)
