A good student resource.
The book is hardback and arrived in good condition and is brand new. I am a student tailor and use this to support me on my course in the making of The Tailored Jacket. It comes recommended by my colleges as it is the standard book used in class at this time. There a few errors spotted but I overlook this as I’m used to the author’s methodology and techniques in garment construction from another textbook in the series. I highly recommend this textbook as a useful studying companion and resource in fashion and tailoring.

Excellent
As per reviews this book gives you all you need to get your blocks drafted. It's been years since I drafted blocks and patterns so I need to start from scratch. This is perfect. Am a bit boggled looking at it but am confident I will be able to follow the instructions laid out. Would highly recommend to any student or someone like me - I would imagine this is a go to book for many novices and experienced alike.

Good book, takes some understanding. - Not for beginners
Good book, I've used it to draft a dress so far and it has been quite useful! I found that the instructions are a little hard to understand but with a little patience and concentration (and help from the internet) I got it! definitely not a beginners book. there are no tutorials on seams, attaching collar/ sleeves, button panels, zips etc. so you have to have a basic understanding of sewing. However I (a confident beginner with some mild experience) found this book very useful when supplemented with youtube tutorials.

Wish I had bought it years ago !
This is an absolutely brilliant book. Some of the reviews have said its too technical. It is a little technical - but if you start right at the beginning and take your time - it makes you really understand the craft of pattern drafting and using a basic block to tailor to individual sizes and allow for 'problem areas' - e.g. like me big boobs ! It shows how the basic block is adapted to make the whole range of garments, demonstrating how clothes are put together. Its NOT a sewing book .. its a pattern drafting book. Great .............

Just what I was looking for.

Excellent in every respect for my level.
This is the one to get if you are starting out. It is a text book for students published by Wiley. It's set out clearly and simply but professionally and has a big range of form and flat blocks for a huge range of patterns plus adaptions and it's right up to date. Loads of exciting things to make from lingerie to exercise and outdoor wear to smart tailored coats. You can use the industry standards or your own measurements and it deals with sloping shoulders and all the weird forms we take up over years! I bought Pattern Magic by Tomoko Nakamichi first but too hard. Will use it later when I have actually learnt some basic craft!17 December 2017 - have made my first pair of trousers to my own design and measurements and it was the experience I hoped for. They fit and look exactly as I wanted them too - and now I can't wait to do more!

A brilliant revised edition.
I have an earlier edition of this book which has been invaluable. I've been using it for 20 years so I thought it was time to get an updated edition. This newer version shows how the advances in pattern-cutting technology has moved on whilst still retaining the clear and simple format of my earlier edition.

Chiaro ed efficace
Il libro contiene tutte le istruzioni per imparare a fare i propri cartamodelli con facilità, ho trovato le spiegazioni chiare ed efficaci. Senza contare le tante informazioni accessorie che una sarta amatoriale come me trova utilissime.Certo è scritto in inglese, ma io un libro equivalente in italiano non l'ho trovato. Per me non è un problema, ma forse anche chi conosce un po' meno la lingua può arrangiarsi a leggerlo.Sono molto contenta dell'acquisto, ma sapevo che ne valeva la pena perché il volume è segnalato sui social da innumerevoli sewist estere.
