Metric Pattern Cutting for Children's Wear and Babywear (4th Ed.)

This fourth edition of Metric Pattern Cutting for Children's Wear and Babywear continues to serve as the definitive textbook, featuring three significant enhancements. Firstly, the content has been reorganized to align with the evolving practices in the production and marketing of children's apparel. The current trend towards easy-fitting styles and knitted materials necessitates a greater focus on basic 'flat pattern cutting,' which is now emphasized in this edition. While shaped blocks and garments tailored to the human form remain included, they are now situated within chapters that discuss certain school uniforms or higher-end fashion and formal attire.

Secondly, this edition introduces a color-coded system for the sections, making it simpler to pinpoint specific processes and improving the overall visual appeal of the illustrations. Additionally, the size charts have been updated to correspond with contemporary body sizing trends. The clear distinction between boys' and girls' measurements in these charts responds to current marketing practices and aligns with European sizing standards. Furthermore, 'plus charts' for larger children have also been incorporated.
