Reviews
"The aim of this book is to provide the principles of garment product development to computer operators or students in clothing technology and to aid the transition to computer-aided design (CAD) systems for those conversant with manual pattern construction. Computer-aided Pattern Design and Product Development is clearly written and simple to understand. It is an excellent source of information for those interested in both manual and computerised pattern design."-Journal of Fashion Marketing and Management, Vol. 10, 2006
