Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an introduction to a system of measuring and drafting for garment cutting, which the author claims is superior to any published method. The author argues that previous systems, based on breast measurements, are not reliable because they do not account for the diversity of body shapes. The system outlined in this book, however, uses a combination of measurements, including shoulder and balance measurements, to create a more accurate and customized fit. It provides detailed instructions on how to take these measurements and use them to draft a garment pattern. The system is designed to be easy to use, even for beginners, and the author claims that it can be used to create a well-fitting garment without the need for multiple fittings or alterations.
