In this highly detailed second volume about technical drawing in fashion design, authors Elisabetta Kuky Drudi and Tiziana Paci demonstrate how to translate 3D images to 2D. Aimed at fashion students and designers, it covers every aspect of garment representation for all kinds of clothing, from skirts to beachwear to accessories, including shape, proportions, cuts, tailoring details, and fabric types. Technical drawings, or flats, are an irreplaceable means of communication to translate in a visually clear and legible way, the sketch of an outfit where stylistic details, actual volumes, lengths, and other elements of the garment are not displayed in depth. In straightforward, descriptive language, this book teaches readers the most effective ways to draw a detailed and accurate representation of the garment that pattern cutters and machinists can read and implement.

Tiziana Paci lives and works in Pesaro, Italy, teaching fashion design and painting. In her thirty years of experience, she has come up with original methods for design in general and for the improvement of drawing and painting techniques for fashion sketches and figures. All this material has been organised into a number of manuals which combine both educational and artistic aspects, and have been translated into many languages and used in schools in Italy and abroad.
