This book is a comprehensive guide to creating skirts using the patternmaking method developed by fashion designer and teacher Dominique Pellen. It is written in a simple, clear, precise, and highly detailed manner, making it accessible to readers of all skill levels.

Flat-pattern drafting is the process of creating volume from a 2-D surface by outlining a pattern on paper, using specific body measurements to which ease is added according to the desired look of the garment. Dominique Pellen developed this method after countless years of experience in the studio and in the classroom.

The book has already been used at professional schools and institutes, where Pellen's method has proven to be reliable and foolproof. This expanded and updated volume on skirts, which includes QR codes linking to explanatory videos, is the first in a series of guides that will explore the exciting world of garment-making, a gateway that is designed to help clothiers understand and design patterns on their own.

Dominique Pellen is a passionate fashion illustrator, designer, and patternmaker who has worked with various international couturiers and brands. He has also consulted, taught, and lectured on styling, design, and patternmaking at one.

In conclusion, this book is a must-have for anyone who loves to sew and wants to create their own skirts. It provides a comprehensive and easy-to-follow guide to patternmaking, and with its expanded and updated version, it is an invaluable resource for fashion enthusiasts and professionals alike.
