After the immense success of Modelling on the Dress Stand, which became a staple in fashion education institutions worldwide, there was an evident demand to follow up with a book specifically geared towards intimate apparel. As with the first book, ‘Modelling on the stand for intimate apparel’ is a reference manual to be used in the practice of modelling on the contoured stand, enabling you to grasp the principles and practice of successful contour design, and laying a firm foundation for the core craft skills which remain vital in the fast moving world of fashion textiles and technology.
Topics covered include the bra, the bustier, the basque, the corset, the wedding dress, swimwear/exercise wear, and club wear. With detailed illustrations, the book walks you through every stage of the construction process, explaining the specific issues involved and how to deal with them, including the all important stretch factor and the use of laces and embroideries.
