The overview work and practical handbook for all types of fabric shows you how you can use the right fabric to turn your design ideas perfectly into the desired garment. The structure of the book is based on the function of the textiles: should the fabric be used to create a structure, a fold, additional volume or a clear contour? Should the garment fit snugly or create a new silhouette? Should the surface be printed, impregnated or mercerised? Also included is information on yarn properties, special characteristics of the different fabrics as well as ecological and socially responsible manufacturing methods in the textile industry.
