Winifred AldrichMetric Pattern Cutting for Women's Wear

This is my favourite pattern making book, I have relied on it for years. With the new edition I found some useful information and a few new drafts related to contemporary clothing. Even taking measurements is shown clearer in the front and back body measurement diagram, if you make custom/personal garments. The information is spread out nicely. I have the 4th edition, I didn't think the 5th edition is a waste, although I do wish they ADDED drafts for MORE cool garments. Like I was hoping for more pant and trouser patterns, that is why I bought the book in the first place. I was looking for more bespoke pant option ideas, for fitted pants in woven fabrics. Lastly, patterns need fine tuning according to sizes, but the base instructions and modications required thereafter as directed in the following pages as per your need makes your foundation solid.
