Fashion Patternmaking Techniques for Children

Donnanno Antonio

Antonio Donnanno returns to children's clothing patterns, expanding on previous work and including numerous new garments to dress kids for any occasion. Once again, this text is the result of detailed studies and ongoing updates to measurements and the changing needs that this industry is known for. The author wanted to create a method similar to that for adults, simple yet precise and clear. All categories of garments which are currently made and sold were the object of close study: from gowns to rompers,
skirts to trousers and jumpsuits, casual clothes to carnival costumes. In the words of the author: "Each age range comes with models which combine comfort, beauty and style. I hope this text will help simplify the work of those in this industry or of those who just wish to make garments for their family members".
