Book Description
"Textile Designs is a dazzling, informative fabric encyclopedia of archival beauty. It is a necessary tool for the fashion industry, schools, and libraries."
—Women's Wear Daily
"An iconography of textile motifs and a vocabulary of pattern. . . . Highly recommended." —Choice
Never before have printed textiles been celebrated in a book of this magnitude. Now in paperback, Textile Designs is the indispensable sourcebook for the colorful patterned materials that have been used in fashion and interiors for the past 200 years. Organized not chronologically or geographically but by motif—Floral, Geometric, Conversational, Ethnic, and Art Movements and Period Styles—this bible of textile design presents a stunning cross-section of the materials of everyday life: printed calicos and cottons, flowered cretonnes and chintzes, polka-dot silks and foulards. With its informative text and pattern names provided not only in English but also in French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Japanese, this is a must-have for everyone interested in color and pattern.

It's Awsome!.......2007-08-02
I've already known this book, because of this I've bought it!
It's really great ideia to have one if you are a Fashion and Patern Design!
Source Book.......2007-04-26
This book is a fabulous resource for artists and designers. Unlike many textile books, it is not arranged by cloth, but by the patterns on the cloth. Every time I open this book, I find something new. There isn't much text, which is fine by me, just plenty of eye candy.

Through the Eyes of a Historical Consultant and Designer.......2006-11-13
I find books of this nature to be invaluable - both in dating articles of extant clothing in my research and becoming more knowledgeable of fabrics in certain time periods, to make the right fabric choices for the reproduction clothing I design and produce. This book does not disappoint!

Historical Fashion in Detail: The 17th and 18th Centuries
ASIN: 0811819973 |
Amazon.com
Madeleine Vionnet's greatest distinction as a designer was her discovery of the bias cut. Cutting patterns along the bias forces the fabric to cling to the body and move with it, which created her trademark look of draped, form-conscious clothing. When designer Issey Miyake first saw a Vionnet dress, it was like the first time he saw Winged Victory at the Louvre: "I thought then that the statue of Nike had been reincarnated in the dresses by Vionnet. She had captured the most beautiful aspect of classical Greek aesthetics: the body and movement." Vionnet's long career as a dressmaker and designer began with the 20th century. Always conscious of women's bodies and inspired in part by modern dancer Isadora Duncan, she soon dispensed with corsets and other constricting garments, and used barefoot models to present her first solo collection. Though simple, her dresses were never plain; the use of a Cartier necklace as a halter strap is a classic Vionnet innovation. This inimitable combination of comfort and glamour made Vionnet's clothes a favorite among European nobility, Hollywood royalty--notably Marlene Dietrich, Gypsy Rose Lee, and Katharine Hepburn--as well as socialites and other trendsetters. Close to a century after its introduction, the bias cut remains an important element in clothing design.
Madeleine Vionnet is a tall book that echoes many of the designs inside. It is filled with contemporary photographs of the clothing, period pictures shot by Man Ray and Steichen, design sketches, and, perhaps most interestingly, patterns for the clothes. The accompanying text traces Vionnet's evolution from an 11-year-old seamstress, through her days apprenticing at the famed Callot Soeurs couture house in Paris, and on into the design empire that secured her an enduring spot in fashion history.
Book Description
Back in print at last, with a ravishing new cover, Madeleine Vionnet is "not only the best book on Vionnet, but perhaps the best book ever on a fashion designer" (Out). Madeleine Vionnet (1876–1975) was the greatest dressmaker in the world. Considered a genius for her innovations with the bias cut—the most difficult and desirable cut in clothing design—she has a fanatical following. Vionnet was a maverick, her results spectacular. She dressed the stars of the '30s, invented new pattern-making techniques, and eschewed corsets for her models. Vionnet's dresses are virtually un-copiable and highly coveted by vintage clothing collectors. Madeleine Vionnet is the definitive study of this venerated artist. Illustrated with more than 400 photographs, line drawings, and watercolors, it also includes 38 original patterns for Vionnet dresses. As the Art Deco Society of L.A.'s newsletter has said, anyone "interested in Art Deco or fashion must have this book."

Madeleine Vionnet.......2007-08-19
This book is an absolute dream right through from the beautiful hard cover to the wonderful photographs, history and patterns. I am a Designer/Patternmaker and is the most beautiful book I have ever bought on fashion. Betty Kirke has put a lot of love and care into this treasure and any student of fashion, especially patternmaking and draping has to purchase this and learn a whole lot about bias cutting.
An excellent reference book.......2007-05-21
Madeleine Vionnet
A fascinating book on Madeleine Vionnet. Betty Kirke has plunged into the personal story, the career, but mostly the clothes, this avant garde fashion designer has made in the 20's and 30's. All young fashion designers should be grateful to Betty Kirke, the talented author of this book, who has given them the chance to study the patterns, the style, the technique of Madeleleine Vionnet.
Absolutely gorgeous!.......2007-04-13
Well worth the price. Saw this in a store and was mesmerized.Where Poiret is fun....this gal was ALL class.
draped fashions.......2007-03-16
I wanted to learn how to do this style of gowns for my fashion dolls. I saw this book on ebay go for $600 so figured it should be a good one. It has plenty of info and even the patterns for the gowns.
Awesome Reference.......2007-03-12
What a great book, excellent quality paper, production, layout, content--how wonderful that the author shared the patterns, this is a must have for any budding fashion designer.
Customer Reviews:
only half the story.......2007-08-20
this book is best for people grading by hand, as it gives step by step instructions on how to move the pattern to grade up/down.
it does NOT give standard grading charts of standard sizes. it gives only the BASIC BASIC grades between them, such as 2" for the waist.
I was expecting something a lot more thorough and updated than this, especially since the apparel industry has changed so much. I wanted standard specs with grading, not common-sense instructions on shifting a pattern up and out, etc.
The one that gets used most in the business.......2006-03-29
I can't believe nobody has reviewed this book because it is -hands down- the best book in the business. It's self-published so its release and publicity is limited but I can tell you this is the book that is most often USED in the apparel industry. Not the book most used in schools, but in real life (I've been a pattern maker for 25+ years). I guarantee all the pattern grading services keep it on hand! The way the grading charts and mapping is set up in the book most closely mirrors the way we work in the industry. The charts in competing books (Price/Zamkoff) are so complex but Handford's book nails it.
Unlike many book authors, Handford was a pattern maker for years. He'd work in the industry for a spate of years, get disgusted, go back to school, get disgusted with school so he'd go back to pattern making, then in to teaching, then back to school, then back to manufacturing over and over. He did this over the lifetime of his career finally ending up with a Ph.D and 50 years of industrial experience! I mention his background because it means his book is keenly attentuated to the needs of everyone, students, pattern makers and educators. He did it all so he'd know what was most efficacious for all parties concerned. His book blends the needs of everyone simply and succinctly. You could buy another book rather than this one but I don't know why you would.

Briday Gowns: How to make the Wedding Dress of your Dreams.......2007-05-15
The book arrived quickly and in great condition. It looks like it has lots of information to help with making my daughter's wedding gown...I'll begin sewing in September.
bridal gowns; how to make the wedding dress of your dreams.......2006-08-07
Very informative I will use the book alot
Wonderful Resource.......2006-02-01
I am in the Bridal Alterations business and also sew weddings on the side. I am just starting out and wanted to learn more about the insides of wedding gowns. I have used other books by these women (Fit for Real People) to teach sewing classes in local fabric stores and knew they'd put out a great product. Inside they tell you what fabrics to use for interlining, interfacing, step by step construction, patern fitting, and more. There's even a checklist for constructing a wedding gown and yardage and instructions for making petticoats. I REALLY recommend this book!
A Good Guide, But Know How to Sew.......2002-12-12
I was toying with the idea of making my own dress and bought this book. The author is very knowledgeable and the text is well-written. However, if you are a novice you do not want to ACTUALLY attempt a dress without either a.)guidance, or b.)other books to walk you through. This is written for those who truly understand patterns and sewing. However, if you don't sew it is a great book to understand what things you should be looking for if you are having it made by a dressmaker, and the types of fabric/necklines/veils, etc. If you're expecting a step-by-step this is not the book for you.
Wonderful!.......2000-06-07
Well written, clearly illustrated, great on all the details. Obviously written by a pro who is very creative! Highly recommended even if you don't plan to sew your own--you will get lots of ideas to have the perfect dress made for your special day!
Book Description
Modern Japanese quilting blends Eastern and Western techniques to create quilts of extraordinary style and beauty. Using designs borrowed from a rich decorative arts heritage, and often incorporating traditional kimono fabrics, Japanese quilters have developed a distinctive style based on
unusual motifs and striking color combinations. With Japanese Quilted Blocks to Mix and Match, any quilter can create exquisite and unique works of patchwork art in the Japanese tradition.
The book presents more than 125 different block patterns, each with complete instructions and a color photograph, representing a variety of pattern sources: kamon (family crests), Hakone yosegire (parquetry) and traditional textiles, such as kasuri weave. Each 9-inch block includes a full cutting
guide and fabric palette; suggestions for use, either mixing and matching or adapting to an all-over design; and icons indicating techniques and skill level. The blocks on each spread are related in design and technique.
In addition to the Block Directory, Japanese Quilted Blocks to Mix and Match features an Inspiration Gallery, showcasing examples of finished quilts from leading quilters. Using these examples, author Susan Briscoe explores such topics as color ideas from traditional Japanese textiles and quilts,
motifs, and recommendations for combining fabric patterns and block designs. An extensive section on technique, as well as several pages about the fabrics themselves and a listing of suppliers and organizations make this volume as practical and informative as it is beautiful.
Customer Reviews:
One of the Best Books.......2007-09-13
Susan Briscoe's Japanese Quilt Blocks book must be one of the top ten quilt design books ever. I had been searching for a long time for a way to make simple elegant 9-inch patches that are not the same old traditional American items.
Briscoe's book has so inspired me on to creating little 9-inch patches that I simply cannot wait to sit at my work table each day to play with further fabric combinations and designs. The extraordinary way she has combined her patches into quilts give me great pleasure and encourage me to do the same. The directions and color photos in the book are excellent. And the rating of each of the 122 designs by difficulty helps, too.
I treasure this book.
Also, it is the first quilting book I have felt inspired to buy in 20 years!
Awesome Book........2007-08-04
This book will get your imaginative juices running. A very detailed book and so easy to design from.Great colour images and templates to use.
A must for any quilter who wants to explore their own skills.
Great Book ! Well Organized & Beautifully Presented.......2007-07-10
I just received this book and I'm really impressed with it! The blocks are beautiful and well presented. Some of the piecing procedures can be done a little easier than is shown, but basically this book is a real find! I love Japanese motifs and have done a bit of sashiko so this book is a real inspriation for me!
Gorgeous book.......2007-05-25
Susan Briscoe has produced a gorgeous book, full of unique designs and patterns. Many of the patterns are simple; others, especially the appliques, a complex. The photos are beautiful and show how Japanese fabrics can be utilized in striking ways. In addition, Briscoe offers plenty of tips on color, block construction, design, piecing, sashiko stitching, etc. If you have any Japanese fabrics in your stash (or even if you don't), you'll enjoy this book.
Japanese blocks to make are..........2007-04-11
The book,Japanese Quilt Blocks to Mix and Match, is beautifull illustrated.The instructions are clear and instructive. The applique patterns are truely unique, ranging from easy to more advanced.There are also pieced patterns and Sashiko patterns.The book gives instruction in Sashiko.I rated this book 4 stars. It lost a point because all of the applique patterns have to be enlarged 200%. Since my preference leans toward applique ,I find it frustration to have to wait untill I can get to Staples to have the patterns enlarged. That aside,this hard covered,color- illustrated book is a must if you have or want to have a keen interest in quilting Japanese blocks.

Customer Reviews:
Great for Fair Isle Work!.......2007-01-16
Sheila McGregor is a knitting goddess! I would NOT recommend this for a beginning knitter.. there are no direct patterns for sweaters, but the charts are numerous and authentic! just make sure you count the number of stitches in each repeat! this is a must have for any color knitter bored with the usual patterns out there!
Read for a good understanding of what Fair Isle knitting is.......2005-08-31
If you are a fairly experienced knitter and can create the garment basics (i.e. figure your gauge and cast on accordingly), it is indispensible. If you need a pattern with directions (e.g. cast on x number of stitches on size y needles), this book does not supply that. It gives guidelines for garments, just not full patterns. What it does supply is a fabulous history of this knitting art form, explanations of how it developed and how it was used. Lots of great pictures. The third part of the book is dedicated to patterns in graph form, which is just the way I like it, personally. I've enjoyed browsing through it and putting my creativity to the challenge of creating what I want to make. If it ever gets cold down here in Texas, that vest made of Harris tweed wool will be great. Luckily, I knit for the knitting more than for the finished product.
great historical book and supplement to other FI books.......2004-01-26
This is a great older reprint for Fair Isle knitters. There seems to be more historical detail than some of the other fair isle books (Starmore and Feitelson).
Also included are hundreds of fair isle stitch patterns for designing your own sweater. The only drawback to the stitches is the lack of color (the patterns are black and white only). So the color aspect of fair isle knitting is not as fully explored here. Overall, a great deal of information for the price!

Order at a lower price.......2006-07-07
This and all the other Jean Hunnisett Period Costume titles can be ordered directly from the publisher, Players Press, Inc., Studio City, CA for ONLY $59.00 each.
Ah, yes, grid reference............2004-05-26
I received this book as part of a group of textbooks received for my costume design course at FIDM. I used a nice, red, ballpoint pen (this would've been 1990, y'know, before acid/lignin-free - and especially non-bleeding - pens were freely available) to mark out my ten-grid grid. Anyway, I used the Phoenix (Elizabethan or Jacobean) corset pattern to make one of my projects, and it turned out beautifully (if only it still fit me!). I also drafted a Tudor corset from one of the patterns, and we did a panier petticoat from this text as well.
You might say the book is well-loved. Really, really, well-loved.
Which, I would think, goes far in stating how useful this book is, and how much information, especially in the form of period patterns, is available within. I couldn't have done without it, and I don't think anyone else should have to.
very useful book.......2001-08-09
When I look at the few period costumes I made (I'm only a beginner), I really think this book helped me to improve my cutting abilities, sewing tips and above all, the authentic period feeling when the garment is worn and moves on stage. Jean Hunnisett tells you what you're expecting to find at the end of your work and helps you to understand the historical background of period costume. This is the only book which explains in detail the draping method over a corset and guides you step-by-step in the construction of the costume but it is sometimes a bit confusing in her sewing instructions and she gives the impression there's only one way to realize something (ex: 18th century corset). Anyway, I learned a lot and she's a very good teacher. (Don't be tempted to enlarge her scaled patterns,it doesn't work very well( too many corrections) and it's easier to make your own patterns by the flat or by draping.)
A must have for theatrical designers!.......2000-01-07
This is a superb tool for any theatrical designer/period pattern maker! Jean Hunnisett's experience with the BBC is unmatched and this book is the standard of perfection. It's a clearly defined guide for the correct shape and cut of any era of costume, whether it be Tudor or Georgian. The information and tips that she 'unlocks' will give you a total sense of what each garment should look like in complete detail, with outstanding illustrations and descriptions, from the draping process, fitting, constructing, and trimming. Jean Hunnisett is a master in her craft, and her attention to period accuracy is clearly shown in all three books.
An excellent resource for the serious costumer.......1998-09-22
Hunniset gives scale patterns of garments that are functional and provide a period sillhouette from the foundation up. The scale is something you have to be careful with, however, because different patterns are drawn on different scales.This book is for the experienced sewer and should be considered a technical manual rather than a research resource but I have not found its equal in clarity, correctness and completeness. I reccomend the whole set!
Book Description
The first book to examine pattern as an essential part of twentieth-century design history is now available in paperback. Organized by decade, Twentieth-Century Pattern Design details the technical innovations that affected the development of modern textiles and wallpapers.

The result is a book that is as inspiring as it is informative. Twentieth-Century Pattern Design is an invaluable resource for modern design enthusiasts and historians, collectors, and interior and graphic designers.

Quintessential Work of Fashion History.......2007-06-29
Although Janet Arnold is best known as a costumer, she is also a laudable historian and scholar. This book, and its companion volumes, are chock full of primary source information on historic garments and their construction.
The primary feature of Ms. Arnold's books are of course the scaled patterns. By scrupulously copying actual period garments, she has created a faultless roadmap for anyone who wishes to reproduce historic garments and be assured of their authenticity (at least when it comes to the pattern shape). In addition, her notes on the original construction and provenance of the dresses, though sometimes frustratingly brief, offer important insight into the garments.
While most buy Ms. Arnold's book for the patterns, costume historians especially will be interested in the introductory chapters. Here they will find excerpts reproduced from a wide variety of extremely rare period books and manuals of dressmaking. Many of these sources are virtually unavailable elsewhere. Illustrations and pattern samples (not graded) are also reproduced from the same period sources.
The patterns are arranged chronologically, offering one dress every decade or so, depending upon the speed at which fashion was changing during a particular period. The only drawback to this work is that Ms. Arnold, for obvious practical reasons, includes only a single style to represent each time. Therefore, while this is certainly an invaluable work, it should be a jumping off point for further research into the range of styles and decoration that were available during whatever time you are recreating.
To Ms. Arnold's credit, she refrains from editorializing or generalizing historic styles, etc. etc. Instead, her work attains the highest level of scholarship by impartially presenting primary source material in a variety of forms and allowing the reader to set the level of authenticity. Whether you are a hobbyist recreator, a professional costumer, or an academic, this book is a wonderful resource and will surely be treasured for generations to come.
Patterns of Fashion:1660-1860.......2006-04-19
This book should be on the bookshelves of everybody who is interested in the history an construction of costumes - there are no books like Janet Arnold's Patterns of Fashion.
Patterns of old.......2006-03-24
Great Resource only better is "Queen Elizabeths Wardrobe"
for hundreds of dollars
Fabulous Resource for Construction & Inspiration.......2005-08-09
At 1 square to the inch, these grid patterns make up to size almost efforlessly. I would do patterns for 30 minute intervals and would have completed a whole dress pattern within three days, including seam allowance. It is important to add up to 1" seam allowances, and cut out a muslin to fit before attempting it in the fashion fabric. This book is absolutely priceless, and for the amount of gorgeous patterns you recieve, is worth every pretty penny. I reccomend at least an intermediate sewer and a knowledge of pattern construction and patternmaking if attempting these patterns since the directions are a bit hazy and you have to do some creative problem solving to get the patterns to go together the way illustrated. I wish she had published more!
Wonderful Details........2002-09-01
This book goes into details that others leave out. What type of lining was used, how the embrodery was done, drawings of the hooks and eyes used to hold some garmets closed. Where many books on historical dress will tell you a garmet was laced closed up the back Janet Arnold will expand and tell you that the holes were reinforced with metal rings sewn on with thread and what color and type of thread. In addition, the clothing of the men of the time is not just given a passing nod, but every bit as important. Her attention to detail extends to giving the information on where she obtained her information, allowing yet more research to be done on your own. Not for anyone new to sewing but a must for the person who wants to understand the details of historical garmet construction.
Customer Reviews:
Happier the Second Time Around!.......2007-07-17
I owned this book for 30 years, but sold it because it did NOT teach how to start with your own measurements to make slopers. Instead, it taught how to buy a basic commercial fitting pattern & then fit it to your own body. Since my body is SO non-standard, that didn't work for me.
I've since found several good books that explain how to make slopers from your own body measurements, but NONE of those books are as good as this one for how to make any style you want using your basic slopers.
This is the very BEST book I've ever found to explain how to duplicate just about any clothing style, collar, or sleeve design you see or can dream up for yourself! The book shows how to take basic bodice, sleeve, skirt, & pants slopers to design ANYTHING else you want to wear.
So I bought it for the second time, & I'll never be without it again!
BOOKS on how to make basic slopers from your own measurements:
Make Your Own Patterns, by Rene Bergh
How to Make Sewing Patterns, by Donald McCunn
How to Draft Basic Patterns, by Lee Gross
Pattern Making By the Flat-Pattern Method, by Norma Hollen (expensive, but worth it!)
Excellent intro to pattern alterations for womenswear.......2007-05-30
I've only been sewing for a year, and I was frustrated with the mounting cost of commercial patterns. I stumbled upon this book in my library and was succefully altering my first pattern (a blouse) after a few days. This book is well suited for beginners, my only gripe with it is that it doesn't cover men's and children's clothing alterations, only women's.
But it's rather complete at that: you'll learn to alter the five basic slopers (A line dress, bodice, blouse, skirt and pants), how to select and work with fabrics, how to make most collars and neckline, countless sleeves variations, a very useful and easy to understand chapter on moving darts and turning darts into seams, working with yokes, all kinds of skirts, catsuits and overalls etc... The drawings are very clear, all the styles are pictured, I feel I could make anything I want with this book and probably could copy most commercial patterns designs.
As other reviewers said, this book doesn't teach you how to draft the slopers but smallscale patterns are given on p5 and 6, you can blow them up at a copy shop and then alter them to your measurement.
Good basic book on how to work with slopers.......2006-01-18
I disagree with the previous review. The basis of pattern design starts out with using basic sloper patterns. This is exactly what this book takes you through. Once you have mastered the basic slopers (base patterns), then you are shown how to modify the basics and create your own styles. For myself, after I read this book, I have been able to look at almost any commercial pattern and understand how to make the pattern myself without purchasing the pattern. I also understand how to create my own patterns with new designs.
The drawings are out of date, the the basic information is very usable and the slopers themselves are still the same.
TITLE IS MISLEADING.......2005-06-29
I was disappointed in this book. It is really a big book on how to modify commercial patterns. It does NOT show you how to take measurements and make your own patterns or slopers.
