Description
Here is the fabric and textile directory that dressmakers and fashion designers everywhere have been waiting for. The Fashion Designer's Textile Directory is like having your own personal shopper—able to recommend fabrics to suit the effects you want to achieve, show you how the fabric will perform, and tell you the best ways of using it.
Organized by function: do you want a fabric for structure, fluidity and movement, added volume, definition or decoration? This book works in such a way that you can view the fabric as the medium from which the garment design can be achieved right from the beginning.
Each textile in the directory is accompanied by samples of the fabric presented so that its properties come alive, allowing you to really understand how a fabric might behave.
The chart section at the back of the book includes essential guides to fibre properties, fabric structure and weight, fabric characteristics and end use.
