This book helps me so much with draping, there are so many different things to drape that you can always find what you're looking for.

3It's an ok book- should be better for the price.  Jan 13, 2008
This book is ok if you want to learn how to drape. I have been patternmaking for a very long time and find this book to come up short. The pictures are not the best. Well there not pictures. They are hand drawn sketches that are not very well done or clear to the steps in the directions. There are much better draping books at a better cost. This one is not worth the price!

4Good, but it took some time as novice to understand.  Nov 26, 2007
I bought this book several years ago and couldn't use it then. I didn't have a basic understanding of some terms that were used; I was very lost. So, I put it on my bookshelf and started sewing using commercial patterns, and it helped. Last week I took the book off the shelf and understood what I was reading. I made my first basic bodice-front, in two days. I did it just by following the directions. I would suggest that anybody who wants to use this book, would first have basic understanding of clothing construction and it's terms. Even though it took a while, I would still suggest this book to any novice or design student who ambitious enough to learn the craft of draping.

A great book for anyone with sewing, patternmaking, and clothing design experience. Not a novice book, however. You need to understand clothing design and patternmaking terminology to use this book. Well written, well illustrated.
