Clothing Technology

… from fibre to fashion

This is a vocational book, directed primarily at students of the clothing industry: cutting, sewing, and assembly for fashion and mass markets. However, it will also be found useful in either college- or industry-based training for managers and technologists, and as a general reference work. A key feature of the book is its concise and compact design. The chapters generally follow the flow of textile and clothing manufacture. Each page is complete in itself. Particular emphasis has been laid on providing a simple layout and straightforward language, which students will find easy to grasp. Numerous colour diagrams and photographs are an effective aid to the comprehension of some of the more difficult topics. These illustrations are a particularly useful feature of the chapters on Commercial terminology and the History of Clothing. The book is organised largely according to the different technological sectors. There are fifteen chapters built around the following topics.
