Abstract:
"More than a "how-to" book, Technical Sourcebook for Designers is a "why-to" text for aspiring apparel designers and merchandisers whose responsibilities include communicating about specifications by means of design flats and technical packages in the global apparel industry. This text presents a holistic approach to technical design, including such considerations as selection of fabrics and findings, seasonal fashion trends, garment construction, and fit evaluation, all in the context of meeting the needs of the target consumer with cost-effective decisions."--Jacket.
