There are bodice blocks, trouser blocks, skirt and dress blocks as well as flat blocks (one that use no shaping with darts.) Included are also collars, sleeves and necklines. You can apply standard dimensions which are included in the beginning to follow directions for each respective block. Or, you can apply your very own measurements if they don't correspond to the standard sizes as illustrated. This is a wonderfully comprehensive book. I am a novice sewer but was very eager to understand the cutting process and the magic of transforming 2D into 3D. The joining the dots process of recreating these blocks, allows one to understand the building blocks (no pun intended) of a pattern. The layout of the book is clear as are the instructions. A lot of work went into this book. Review: Great reference for intermediate/expert sewers. - This book is great! I can use it as a reference for making my own patterns. It tells where and what to measure for making different styles of garments. It covers a lot of information. By no means are the pattern formulas perfect though, i do think that you need some experience and intuition to know how to adjust them for better fit or adjust them for your purpose. Good for intermediate sewers. Pattern formulas only, no sewing or construction instructions. You will need enough experience do to that part yourself. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #4,247,984 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #13,220 in Women's Flats | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (169) | | Dimensions | 7.7 x 0.68 x 10 inches | | Edition | 5th | | ISBN-10 | 1405175672 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1405175678 | | Item Weight | 1.6 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 224 pages | | Publication date | April 7, 2008 | | Publisher | Wiley-Blackwell | ## Images ![Metric Pattern Cutting for Women's Wear - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/813xEb3q7+L.jpg) ![Metric Pattern Cutting for Women's Wear - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Uuo6sR8FL.jpg) ![Metric Pattern Cutting for Women's Wear - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31Bnl4z7NmL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ fabulous pattern book *by P***I on July 28, 2013* This book gives you the directions to produce any piece of clothing you may want.
