This innovative text addresses the practical day-to-day realities and technicalities of the garment-making business―wholesale, manufacturing, designing, and private-label product development. Comprehensive, yet easy to read and accessible, it “sits students down” and explains step-by-step how to handle a real, roll-up-the-sleeves job in today's fashion industry. It features a wealth of “insider” perspectives, wisdom from the pros, detailed illustrated procedures, and several “hands-on” exercises for real-world practice.
