Dry as dust, but has what you need. Monica Spence Designer/ Patternmaker / Technical Design and now College Professor in Fashion. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Sylvia Rognstad Sent: Friday, September 07, 2007 4:03 PM To: Historical Costume Subject: [h-cost] fashion design materials I know this is a costume email list but I am unaware of any fashion design lists (if someone knows of one, please fill me in). I believe a few of you teach fashion as well as costume, and I'm looking for a book that is specifically related to the subject of designing fashion commercially. Not the theory behind design, not rendering, but the actual steps taken by a commercial fashion designer when designing a line or collection of clothes for a manufacturer. I'm teaching a class on the costume and fashion industries and most of my experience is in theatrical costuming. I have a great book already on the fashion industry and all its facets, but I want to outline the entire procedure a clothing fashion designer takes and I've only worked in the garment industry as a patternmaker. Anyone know of such a work?
