Draping for Apparel Design

The third edition of Draping for Apparel Design brings together Joseph-Armstrong's classic step-by-step instructions in a user-friendly two-color format. Three draping principles and techniques are presented — manipulating dart excess, adding fullness, and contour draping — showing how to turn two-dimensional drawings into three-dimensional garments. New and updated design projects prepare the reader with the draping techniques and creative elements needed to develop a pattern. Designers will gain essential skills that can be applied to their own designs.
