Modelling is a very commercial skill and this book offers designers, lecturers and students a wide selection of clothes that cannot be developed on CAD, but need a three-dimensional modelling approach. The book is divided into three sections. The first section deals with modelling techniques for fourteen dress, skirt and trousers styles.

The second section illustrations three wedding dresses and discusses the fabric and embellishments that went into the creation.

Section three describes and illustrates skills that are needed to cut a whole range of garment styles.
