High fashion unquestionably goes hand-in-hand with sartorial and stylistic perfection. A driving force behind the entire fashion and garment industry, it represents the search for new solutions concerning fabrics, style or patterns. In this context, the patternmaker is an essential figure who makes the stylist’s ideas a reality. In our richly illustrated new volume from the Fashion Patternmaking series, the prolific author Antonio Donnanno, the director of a network of fashion schools and a patternmaking teacher who comes from a long line of tailors, describes the methods and techniques used in high-fashion for making drapes, frills and flounces, collars, necklines and sleeves, and high-fashion trousers and skirts in a detailed, understandable and step-by-step way. Review: Is it worth it? (Sewing Edition) - I adore the designs in this book. They are indeed for advanced patternmakers, as such I like that there is little handholding and pretty much just showing the garment and how the pattern should look. I would have liked to see actual photos of the garments made up and actual photos of the finished patterns. This book does not include info on creating slopers. The section on dart manipulation is a little weird, its too simply for beginners and not needed for advanced patternmakers. Overall an amazing book well worth the price, cannot rave enough about it. Review: Very Little Text Explanations - No sure I'm going to keep this one. The book has "Techniques" in the title so I purchased it looking for in-detail descriptions of techniques along with supplemental images. This work is the opposite. I'm not a beginner draper by any means, but the point of an instructional book is to give instructions. You can find images of couture gowns, and their technical drawings, all over the internet. The hard information to find is the techniques themselves. This book just describes the fundamentals of pattern making, then skips to images of illustrations and advanced tech packs with no explanation. A bizarrely designed book.

Its for advance people. No explanations , only drawings.
Its a nice book with some complicated and interesting patterns. Its for people which have knowledge in pattern making techniques. The down side is that they are no explanations only drawings . Some of the drawings are hard to understand but overall a good book from which you can learn to make more complicated stuff.

It's okey
Doesn't really tell you how to make the dresses. Just gives you rediced version of the final piece. Didnt teach you how to do the inside. How to build a built in corset or how to achieve the desired shape.

Titel klopt niet met inhoud
Teleurstellend boek en totaal niet wat de titel belooft. Tekening van “ haute couture” jurken met kleine blok tekening voor patronen zonder omschrijving. De kledingstukken in het boek zijn saai en verouderde looks, zeker geen aanrader om de technische kant van het vak te willen leren
