Fashion & Costume Design in Quarter Scale

In Fashion & Costume Design in Quarter Scale, Don McCunn illustrates the vital differences between custom-fit bespoke patterns and ready-to-wear. He provides instructions and patterns for making quarter-scale dress forms (Mini Mes) and shows how designs can be protoyped in quarter scale with fabric. Introducing an original approach for creating fitted patterns for any body by tracing quarter-scale photos, he describes techniques for changing the Mini-Me patterns into limitless designs. He also introduces the concept of using CAD to create quarter-scale prototypes.
